A SECOND ADVICE ON HIV/AIDS TREATMENT IN THE GAMBIA
Foroyaa first raised the question: Has a cure for HIV/Aids been found or are those living with HIV/AIDS being assisted to cope with the illness through good nutrition, control of opportunistic infections; elimination of stigma and better environmental and psychological conditions? We called for clinical tests to be done.
Dr Mbowe told GRTS that clinical tests have been done and that the results of the viral loads have been received since 4th February 2007. According to him, 9 people infected with HIV/AIDS had gone through the treatment. He indicated that five people have undetectable viral load, one patient has moderate viral load and three patients have high viral loads.
Apparently, Dr. Mbowe is convinced that HIV/AIDS now has a cure. In fact, the treatment is continuing.
The issue of HIV/AIDS cure is a scientific one. It is irresponsible for us to merely give opinions. What is of profound importance is a scientific opinion.
Since, the world community maintains that there is no cure, the WHO has a duty to act with speed to set up a committee of relevant medical scientists to come to the Gambia to take part in the investigation and then inform the world community whether a cure for HIV/AIDS have been found. Any delay in setting up such a committee of scientists would be a sign of irresponsibility and insensitiveness to the plight of those living with HIV/AIDS in The Gambia, in particular and the international community, at large.
The moment to act is now not later. The debate on international radio should be followed by scientific enquiry which is the only method appropriate to validate or invalidate a scientific phenomenon.
