HIV VACCINE (VANHIVAX) cures PATIENTS IN CAMEROON


Dr recently presented a paper on his VANHIVAX vaccine and HIV/AIDS.

During a public conference organised by the Academy of Sciences recently Professor Victor Anomah Ngu said his vaccine, VANHIVAX, has treated many HIV/AIDS patients and 18 of them have seen their serological status converted from sero-positive to sero-negative.
The 18 patients represent the tip of the iceberg he says because most cured patients are scared to show-up due to stigma. According to the scientist, most AIDS patients, who arrived late at his Clinic of Hope with depressed immunity, were greatly improved by VANHIVAX but could not achieve sero-negativity. His present concern is to raise the immunity of AIDS patients, so that they too can receive definitive vaccination with VANHIVAX and so achieve sero-negativity. He adds that the vaccine works best if prepared from viruses grown in a region and used in the same manner it can serve as preventive vaccine in normal uninfected persons with normal immune competence in that region. According victor Anomah Ngu, VANHIVAX is thus the final Immunological solution to HIV/AIDS.


Professor Wally Muna, while presenting a paper on “Caveat of Biomedical Research in Developing Countries”, said Professor Anomah Ngu found a way to prepare a vaccine that has been able to get some patients who where sero-positive to become sero-negative. Wally Muna however said before making the big announcement, “let us put means together to know what VANHIVAX is all about with its resolutions, for this is not time for mediocrity, bias or prejudices”.

The Cameroon Academy of Science has looked at the information on VANHIVA and HIV/AIDS. The president of the academy, Professor Samuel Domngang, says they have no doubt about Professir Anomah Ngu’s VANHIVAX vaccine, but the problem now is to know the procedure and how they could make use of the information so that other people can benefit from the discovery.

Talking about the cost of VANHIVAX, Professor Anomah Ngu says those who come for treatment every month, pay CFA 12.000 and CFA 40.000 is being paid for a six-month vaccine. It should be noted here that the learned Professor, Anomah Ngu, started the research race on an HIV vaccine in 1981.
AIDS; still major health hazard in Cameroon With over 30.000 AIDS orphans in Cameroon according to the 2007 National AIDS Control Committee report, it is evident that the deadly HIV/AIDS is still a serious health problem here. In addition, the United Nations AIDS Organization (UNAIDS) report revealed in 2005 that an estimated 43.000 babies are living with the HIV virus in Cameroon and that 10.000 of them were in need of anti-retroviral drugs. Giulia Cappelli, researcher at the Chantal Biya HIV/AIDS Research Centre made known the frightening statistics recently. Meanwhile Health observers blamed the surge in the pandemic on growing promiscuity, stigmatisation inaccessibility to anti-retroviral drugs in some remote areas amongst others.

As part of activities to fight against the HIV virus and come to the assistance of 75 percent of AIDS patients and orphans in Cameroon by 2010, the Ministry of Public Health recently organised a two day workshop at the nation’s capital of Yaounde. Participants at the workshop who included health experts came up with proposals on how to further surmount AIDS in the country.

On his part the country’s Public Health Minister, AndrĂ© Mama Fouda sounds optimistic that in spite of the lapses still witnessed, the fight against HIV/AIDS was progressing steadily. Last year in addition to the many anti-AIDS campaigns, government announced the free distribution of anti-retroviral to AIDS patients in the country.

Free screenings and treatment of sexually transmissible disease have been carried out in schools
and most recently on the campus of the Country’s most populated University of Yaounde I.
