Kenyan Scientist Unveils World's First Anti-HIV Drug Taken Once a Year

A team led by Professor Benjamin Edagwa, a Kenyan scientist based at the University of Nebraska's Medical Centre in the United States, has developed the world's first anti-retroviral (ARV) drug to be taken only once a year.

The drug was created as a means to protect against HIV infection and can be taken by people already infected or those at risk of acquiring the virus.

At the moment, HIV patients must take medicine daily, but if clinical studies confirm that the new drug is safe for use, they would be able to receive an injectable medicine once every year, serving the same purpose of protecting their immune systems from the virus.

A report on the new drug was published in the peer-reviewed biomedical research journal Nature Materials on Monday, April 27.
The University of Nebraska Medical Centre (UNMC) disclosed that it had begun pursuing approvals from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to facilitate mass production of the drug.


To develop the drug, Edagwa alongside his colleagues modified an existing ARV drug known as Cabrotegravir (CAB) to allow the body to absorb it and release it slowly from tissues over a twelve-month period.

“This pharmaceutical development has the potential to not only treat but also prevent viral transmission. This may certainly be a therapeutic milestone.

“While viral vaccines and long-acting modified ARVs have very different modes of action, they can both function to protect against infection,” stated Howard Gendelman, Professor and Chairman of the UNMC Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience as he hailed the breakthrough.

Edagwa hails from Vihiga County in Kenya and studied Chemistry at Moi University before moving to the United States.

On this particular project, he led a large team of scientists and researchers that included Gendelman, Aditya Bade, Ph.D., and graduate student Tanmay Kulkarni.

The University of Nebraska noted that no adverse side effects had been observed in animal testing for the drug, having so far been tested on mice and non-human primates.


Helping Edagwa's team work on the transition from animal to human testing, are scientists from the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI); Paul L. Domanico, Tai-Yuen Yue and Gary Moore, identified as co-authors of the paper by Nature Materials.

It could, however, take several years before the drug hits the shelves at your local health facility due to stringent approval processes.

While existing ARVs allow patients to live their lives with minimal complications and avoid transmission to partners, the risk of missing a daily treatment cannot be overstated as it can cause the virus to rebound, leading to other associated complications.

If Edagwa's drug is approved, it would entirely revolutionise the management of HIV infection and prevention.

Hahaha Kenya unveil anti-hiv drugs...please save your juju concoction for those in kibera and spare the world of your jokes..

I hope it's not the usual case of putting lipstick on a pig. I mean I hope most of roads look like that - not just an overdone roundabout.

That is exactly the quatof road governor el rufai is giving the people of Kaduna today...you were not available when we discussed this...I just gave you a glimpyif what you missed while you were away

rvp20182:
They already own everything globally - so even if you protect your little poverty capital - they will take your OIl - and I had rather them owning everything - than be the poverty capital with 140M people - that cannot afford decent mill. These Chinese, Indians and British - will employ people, provide them income, and provide some services. That is what everyone is looking for - FDI - Foreign Direct Investment (Asian, Whites, Blacks).

Then why were you lecturing black SA the other day on how to own their land... hypocrite...

If you've let inferiority complex destroy your mind Nigeria and other sane African country won't allow riff Raff flood our country and rule over us....the uae,Saudi Arabia Chinese,japanese e.tc didn't allow such and look where they are....they control their stuff and not succumb to white inferiority comy

Shma:
Konza techno is a vision 2030 project, as from 2009, road layout had been on course since then, SGR/station is now in Konza, Konza office was already established, currently we're just receiving a booming number of investors, more projects are on course, ground breaking ceremonies and building proposals are in plenty.
I don't think you'll understand this.

Lol shma 2030 is around the corner..it's no longer far...
The only thing you've achieved in konza is an eight storey block building lying helplessly in the weed encroached piece of kinda land since 2009....if since 2009 that is all you could achieve without road then tell me why this city wouldn't be complying the next century...As I speak to you that project is dead and your govt are barely trying to revive...

Look at this city project in Lagos....land reclamation started December 2018 and it is expected to be completed this year(the pandemic has caused slight delay ) so road construction, bridge construction,sewage construction amongst other basic foundation ground infastructures can be put in place...it is also meant to be completed in 2030 but we have gone ahead of konza in such little time....

I don't mind if Chinese can come and own everything in Kenya - as long as it's legal, they pay taxes and all that. I don't mind indian or whites investors owning everything - in fact I encourage them to come and invest. What I oppose are Chinese criminals gangs minning including deep in forest, with their own armed militia, smuggling the gold back to china and LEAVING your poor country least 5B dollars poorer ANNUALLY. I also don't like South Africa Boers sitting on stolen africa land. But I don't mind any white investor coming to africa to invest. I also don't like illegal ghanians or nigerians flocking South Africa...even if they are BLACK..they have to go to South Africa LEGALLY.

There is a difference btw an investor and exploiter. And the military, police, and security arms NEED MONEY TO DO THE JOB. Kenya is spending 1.2B dollars...because SECURITY IS VERY IMPORTANT.

We don't want to become an average West Africa backwater where Chinese just come, buy guns, hire local milita, mine gold including in people lands and protected areas, smuggle it back to China.

A mini-DRC - which is free for all - wilderness.

But you're either too daft or patriotic to reason with me.

The colonialists who stole Africa land are A THIEVES. The chinese who come to Ghana to illegally mine is a THIEF. The illegal Indian doing illegal business is a THIEF.

But a white investor who come to Africa is a great man who should have a red carpet rolled out for.

So you would love if Chinese,Indians, British own everything in Kenya and also keep ruling and top over your laggard asses in the hierarchy of wealth...

See this mumu.. Dangote is the one employing Indians to work for him..in Kenya it's the other way.. the Indians are on top of the rich list with the Mois and Kenyattas behind them..

What can u invest in Nigeria with $14m?
How many Kenya companies are in Nigeria and west Africa as a whole?
Do Kenya firms even have the capacity to invest outside east Africa ?

I love this questions

Shma:
don't allow those make ups you're applying to clot your brain dimwit,
I was giving you a glimpse of activities going on but you decided to come with an ill-considered comeback.!!
A sober mind won't be questioning the presence of cranes but to conclude that the site is not dead as thought.
And a question, where have you seen a crane ..? Or Is it that you're so, so dumb to differentiate between an excavator and a crane?

Dude there is zero activity on site..stop showing me pics of machineries uses to decieve the masses by politicians (you're even a victim)...
Since 2009 that is what we've been seeing

gallivant:
Tanzania is working with the enemy. Do you know the same Egypt is against any development on the Nile by upstream countries, then all over sudden they are building dams in Tanzania?! At whose expense? It's the same old divide and conquer mantra, made possible by hapless Tanzanians.

It's the govt that is doing that..it has notyto do with private construction firms .learn Chennai learn

rvp20182:
Cheap is expensive. These things should be left to Chinese.

What is wrong with you people's thinking...who told you Chinese are the ultimate?..if Egyptians can do it why not leave it to them..I mean you can't compare the infastructures in your slum to those in Egypt...That alone proves their worth on this project cos they've built their country's solid infastructure...you on the other hand can keep whinning about stupid thing whilst the Chinese Rob you in broad daylight with substandard infastructure.... .,..
Chinese are known for substandard things globally and that is exactly what they are feeding you in upperhill and your rusty overpriced sgr....

The Zamfara State Police Command has arrested 2 Chinese Nationals for,allegedly engaging in illegal mining activities in the state.

SP Mohammed Shehu,the PPRO of Zamfara State Police Command Gusau,said in a statement on Monday that the foreigners were arrested based on information received on their activities.

“The Command had On 19th April, 2020 recieved information that some foreigners in concert with other unpatriotic Nigerians engaged in illegal mining activities in Kwali, Bukkuyum LGA of the state. ”

“On the strength of the information, On 20th April, 2020, the Commissioner of Police ,CP Usman Nagogo psc+ led a special taskforce team to Kwali mining sites to assess and see things for himself. ”

“The information proved to be credible one as hundred of miners scattered as soon as they saw the team. Two labourers were however arrested who confirmed the presence of Chinese and Bulkinabe Nationals among others.”

“On 25thth April, 2020 information had it that a Chinese and Bulkinabe Nationals are taking shelter somewhere in Nasarawa Burkullu. On 26th April, 2020 the Commissioner of Police led another team to the same Village where two Chinese Nationals were seen with all the chemicals necessary for making gold. The two Chinese Nationals ,Mr WANG and Mr CHUN are being interrogated to get more information that could help the course of investigation, ” they said.

The Federal Government of Nigeria had banned all mining activities in Zamfara state in 2019,as part of measures to reduce crime and banditry in the state.

I really wish I way lying but black owners of these companies ���control a huge chunk of Kenya's Economy. Indians just can't match Kenyan's Aggressiveness.

Story...Indians are at the top of the food chain while black Kenyan are just the black dregs of Kenya....wonder Moore why they are the richest over indigenous black Kenyans..

Nigeria and renders. When will this become reality...2050?

Rvp you might also need to check this project on instagram...just type "awkamilleniumcity" on Instagram and view the progress...The land clearing and preparation around October while actual construction started in December...It is been built in Anambra state ..go online and verify

rationalhuman:
There are no "Kenyan" owned companies in Alaro City. There are 3 small Indian and British firms that that operate from Kenya Colony.
How do you describe a Kenyan? By skin color? Clearly Chandaria Industries Registered in kenya by Kenyan Citizens, Paying taxes to Kenyan Government providing jobs. Sometimes you people are funny. Sorry to say but you still stuck in colonial mindset. World is free, Chains of differences,races are breaking and you people still at same point. We we Kenyans are proud to anyone who is our citizen and doing something good for this country.
Another point, why you posted image of Airtel?? do you know Airtel is Indian Multinational operated HQ from India and has nothing to do with Kenya. what was the point?

Stop making noise...Those are I Diana not Kenyans...period

Very perfect video
.this video. Sums it up...and even attends to rvp envious curiosity...
We can see the real.investors in their true skin colour and we can also see the developer stating when they started this city and how far they've come in such short time
..it looks better than the similar Tatu project in kenya

Phantomhilz:
Brother man I'm not being racist
Just being factual.

Apart from some north Africans especially those around the Mediterranean coast that have a sort of European look or Caucasiod features, Most Africans are dark skinned.

I can tell you that you would be able to trace your ancestry to either Holland, Germany or any other part of Europe.

It seems weird to an African that a person who is white or has Caucasian features would say that he is SAn or Zimbabwe.

Its just the same way a dark skinned man would sound if he is polish or even Russian.

You might have the SA passport but in reality you are not a native or a real "African"

It's just like a lady who looks visibily Chinese would call herself SAn

True...I wish black Kenyans will learn this a d likes of gallivant so he can travel back to Bangladesh by foot.

Problemkid1:
The render

The renders is beautiful...truth be told it looks better than that Tatu village estate in Kenya ...
Can you imagine..the Tatu village does not even have a modern looking building over there..

Problemkid1:
Ongoing construction of Awka millennium city

Very nice...I will be sharing some progress on smart city project down here in.lahos..for example orange island

rvp20182:
Worry more about the poverty capital hosting 140m really wretched folks - and stop obsessing with a wealth of a few. Of course they are many kenya black billionaires with investment all over.

Stop worrying yourself over a tiny investment from an Indian man and focus on how to create wealth for black so we too can welcome black Kenyan investment here just as you always do for black nigerians in Kenya....you can start from small even if it is a miniscule $1m

Shma:
ignorance as usual,
Is only because you don't know the booming number of investors in that city, currently around six projects are on, tea being planted has nothing to interfere with the plans in fact it will create one of the great aesthetic view in that region but the question should be, where are those tea plants you're talking about?
Pinnacle foundation dream?? What do you mean by foundation dream, ? Pinnacle is already in foundation level, cranes are still on site, the ground breaking alone took millions of ksh, we are only waiting for it to start rising,

If it were not for court delays, the building would have been long time done.

Sarcasm escapes you.. actually there is no teas farm there..it's just that weed encroached piece of abadoned land that I was referring to..

Look woman I can tell you for free that there are no investors there...it's just one big joke of a project...a political carrot talk for lack of a better word...

As for pinnacle oh please don't let me laugh pinnacle has been on foundation level for the past 5 years..after being discussed for like 10 years.....

Dont the expect anything from that site until atleast 2035...fact

obaaderemi:
I plead on his behalf, Sir.

Hahahaha I will think about it ....

rvp20182:
What makes you think black Kenyans are not investing - do you need us to go splitting Kenyan wealth by races.

Nonsense...what we have here is a common India investment of $14m...when black Kenyan decided to make wealth you can call on me so we can show them where to invest..for now they are reduced under the admpit of Indians, British,Chinese where they are employed for meagre labour..

@rvp, @dlonra @the rest kenyans....roads in Kaduna is better than any road in Kenya...fact
