Last Friday I took Nkosi
for a run and on my way home, I swung by the office to pick up a sandwich and snack
I had left in the fridge there. Didn’t want them to sit in the office all
weekend. As I made my way down Queens in the failing light of another beautiful
African dusk, I jogged up behind two
young boys, trotting along in barefeet and tattered clothing. Running home from
town. They did a double-take when I came up behind them with a dog on a leash.
Zimbabweans are terrified of dogs, with no exceptions that I know of. These two
boys jumped into the elephant grass on either side of the path to avoid being
eaten, but I slowed and told Nkosi to sit. Again, they were amazed that a dog
would listen to me and not attack them. Five minutes later, the younger of the
two boys had taken the leash from me, the older was holding my hand, and the
four of us walked along leisurely. I had greeted them in Ndebele and quickly
learned that their English was very poor. They carried a plastic bag and
nothing else and their clothes hung off them. Both were extremely skinny. They
probably can’t afford school fees. I managed to ascertain that the older was
eleven, the younger one nine. They were much too short for their ages. I might
have guessed six and nine. Clearly their nutrition at home is insufficient.
As we walked along, content to giggle whenever Nkosi turned and tried to sniff them, I found myself wishing I had my wallet on me. I would have handed them some cash to take home to their mother. I didn’t even have pockets, out for a jog, carrying nothing but my keys…and two Tupperwares of food. I could have smacked myself in the face. I opened the first container and ripped my peanut butter and jelly sandwich in half, handing one to each of the boys. Then I took the carrots out of the other one, along with a small Jif to-go peanut butter container and handed those to the boys. My aunt had come home from a shopping trip with four cases of portable peanut butter containers after I told her how much I survived on peanut butter and how often we’re on the road for soccer games. Good thinking! The boys went home with a little more nourishment and a new appreciation for dogs. I went home wishing I could give them much more than a sandwich and a few carrots, but even though I’d looked forward to a post-run sandwich, carrying empty Tupperware never felt better.
Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
