Clone2020:
Every World AIDS day, they come up with these headline news to suggest they are making progress. Call me a conspiracy theorist, I strongly believe there is already an HIV cure in the hands of these big pharmaceutical companies but they refuse to release it all for profits. They already make billions of dollars in the antiretroviral drugs given to HIV patients, but those drugs aren't cures and they are too burdensome for patients because they have to take a concoction of pills every single day of their lives and many patients tend to become noncompliant in the process. I just hope this new vaccine will lead to better results and not become a testing ground by big pharma.


FACT!!!

nice one.

Meanwhile, Nigeria accounts for more than a quarter of all new HIV infections among children globally and only half of pregnant women living with virus are tested for the disease

But i thinks Nigerians need to get some chill, always taking the lead in the wrong things

[/b]"According to the United States National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the study, called HVTN 702, is to test whether an experimental vaccine regimen safely prevents infection among South African adults. It involves a new version of the only HIV vaccine candidate ever shown to provide some protection against the virus."[b] That is so interesting.Looking forward to this feat. cool

Was it discovered in Africa by Africans with the plenty 1st class and PhDs that we celebrate anyhow here and elsewhere?

EXACTLY! But the Africans will even be willing to test it. Smhhh
/
Test drugs on people and pay millions of dollars in fines.

OR

Give an African chief N5m (about $13k) and he will line his people up as guinea pigs. The best part is if anything goes wrong, it is considered the will of God and the drug manufacturer will not be held responsible.

So it is cheapest to look towards Africa.

Truth is: there's no cure. No pharmaceutical company will have the cure and hoard it. Additionally, before there's a cure, the research paper would have been published in medical journals thereby telling everyone the possibility and procedure(s).

There are so much avenues for information nowadays for a company to hoard it. Furthermore, where else would the drug be tested? Africa has the highest causalities of HIV in the world. Your conspiracy theory is akin to a company testing a drug for Alzheimer's in Africa.



Can you please tell me where else the drug should have been tested? Not long ago, a drug was tested for Dengue fever. Where? South East Asia. Why? That's where you have the highest causalities.
Bro.... since HIV originated in the US... don't you think they should be experimenting with their own?... you read about the US Military HIV Research section... why are they operating in Thailand?....why not in the US?... have you ever wondered why US Military was involved in stopping the spread of Ebola in Africa?.... and do you ever wonder why the experimental vaccines are being used in Africa?...and not the US? The poorest areas of the world are now targeted to carry out various experimemts... including the Ziko virus.... use as biological weapon. Which pharmaceutical company is interested in finding a cure for anything?...the name of the game is management.. how to manage or control a disease... to have the patient on the drug for a lifetime. .. to keep the cash flowing. Keep waiting for them to find a cure for HIV or cancer.

10) Democratic Republic of the Congo – 1,100,000
Around 100,000 people die of AIDS every year in Democratic Republic of Congo. It is one of the first African nations to recognize the virus. Here the main mode of transmission (87 percent of cases) is unprotected sex.


9) United States – 1,148,200
HIV may have entered the US through a single infected immigrant in the late 1960s. There are a higher percentage of AIDS diagnoses in the eastern and the southern states. Majority of the AIDS diagnoses can be found in the coastal regions.


cool Uganda – 1,200,000
In Uganda, AIDS has been approached as more than a health issue. In spite of appropriate steps by the government to deal with this disease, HIV infection rate in Uganda is on the rise.


7) Zimbabwe – 1,200,000
Around 15 percent of the population in Zimbabwe is affected by this disease. The virus is transmitted primarily through unprotected sex and from mothers to their children. Young adults and woman are hardest hit.


6) Tanzania – 1,400,000
Tanzania faces a matured generalized HIV epidemic. Tanzanian women are particularly affected by this disease; around 60 percent of the affected are women. Around 86,000 people die of AIDS every year in this country.


5) Mozambique – 1,400,000
Mozambique is facing a severe, generalized HIV/AIDS epidemic. Around 74,000 people lose their life every year due to AIDS. The primary mode of transmission is through unprotected sex.


4) Kenya – 1,500,000
Even though Kenya has severe, generalized HIV epidemic, the nation has experienced a notable decline in HIV prevalence in recent years. Around 80,000 people die of AIDS every year in Kenya.


3) India – 2,400,000
The prevalence of AIDS in India has reduced (0.41 in 2002, 0.27 in 2013) over the past decade. Around 170,000 people die of AIDS in India every year. The spread of the disease is primarily restricted to the northeastern and southern regions.


2) Nigeria – 3,300,000
Around 220,000 people die due to AIDS every year in Nigeria. The HIV prevalence rate among adults (aged between 15 years and 49 years) was 3.1 percent. The epidemic is complex and varies widely by region.


1) South Africa – 5,600,000
South Africa has more people with HIV than any other nation in the world. Approximately 12 percent of the population of South Africa is affected by HIV/AIDS, and around 310,000 people die due to this disease every year in this nation.
These nations are taking steps to deal with this harmful virus, but much more needs to be done in this direction.

Have you seen the reason why the vaccine test was started here? There are just two non African countries on the list, USA and India.
