Published on July 5, 2019, a groundbreaking discovery in the fight against HIV has brought renewed optimism to the global community.
A team of researchers, including America-based Dr. Benson Egadwa, has made significant strides in developing a potential cure for the devastating disease.
According to the World Health Organization, nearly 19.6 million people in East and Southern Africa, including 1.5 million Kenyans, are living with HIV, and about 380,000 have died from it.
The discovery of a new drug that can eliminate the virus in living mice is a major breakthrough, with scientists finding no trace of the virus in 30 percent of the animals used in the study.
However, it's essential to note that there is no cure for AIDS yet, and the new drug will not be available overnight.
As the global community continues to fight against HIV, it's crucial to maintain awareness campaigns and educate people on how to avoid contracting the virus.
