During a public conference organised by the Cameroon Academy of Sciences on Tuesday 22 January, 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 sacred of follow-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 a 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 zero-negative. Wally Muna however says before making the big announcement, "let us put means together to know what VANIVAX 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 Professor Anomah Ngu's VANIVAX 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. In 1981, Professor Anomah Ngu started the research race on an HIV vaccine.

May God bless his efforts and make this yielding for the good of humanity and for the glory of His name. How much does it cost someone to go through the treatment. Do babies pay the same amount?
