HIV is the worlds’ most disturbing epidemic especially in developing country like Nigeria. Hence the world wants to reduce the spread of the epidemic by the year 2030. To be able to achieve the worlds’ sustainable development goals (SDG) HIV prevention, treatment and care messages would be essential. The paper looks at the role of libraries in encouraging the use of mobile phone to communicate HIV information for the treatment and control of the disease through social media platforms. The PLHIV needs to be encouraged to use mobile phone as a means of disseminating HIV information. Use of mobile phone may be a reliable means of accessing HIV information as one can receive information from far and wide. More through the use of mobile phone technology new ideas are able to emerge to meet the health need of People Living with HIV. The paper concludes by highlighting the challenges of using mobile phone and some recommendations were given.
