GistReel Entertainment

The Network of People Living with HIV and AIDS in Nigeria (NEPWHAN) in Gombe State reported four of its members allegedly died after using herbal treatments for HIV. During an event commemorating the 2023 World AIDS Day in Gombe, Mr. Muhammad Ibrahim, the program officer of the association, disclosed this information On Thursday, November 30. Ibrahim expressed concern about the growing use of herbal therapy for HIV treatment in the state, highlighting the increased patronage of such unconventional medications by its members. He emphasized the necessity for government and stakeholders to regulate and monitor the circulation of alternative HIV treatments in the state. According to Ibrahim, many HIV-positive patients, in their desperate search for a cure, are turning to herbal remedies, resulting in numerous deaths due to incorrect medication. “A lot of our members are subscribing and using herbal medicine based on the information being spread by the hawkers of traditional medicine who are everywhere in Gombe. “These people are openly advertising and claiming that they have discovered the treatment of HIV, and as a result, a lot of our people are buying the medicine. “There is no scientific proof that the herbal treatments are real, so we want the government to look into this and do the needful. “Anybody that claims to have found treatment for HIV should be identified and invited by the government to verify his claims and certify it before public sales and use,” Ibrahim said. Dr. Habu Dahiru, the Commissioner for Health in the state, also commented on the matter, stating that there is no scientific evidence supporting the idea that herbs can cure the disease. Dahiru urged NEPWHAN members and all individuals living with HIV to refrain from using herbal medicines for treating the disease, emphasizing that such concoctions can cause harm to vital organs. “We do not have any scientific evidence that herbal medicines are working but anti retroviral drugs are working and when we do the viral load test, you see it reducing, it is scientific. “Herbal medicines have side effects, especially damage the liver and kidney. “We have always discouraged the use of a remedy that has not been certified. To use a drug or herbal in treating a certain illness it has to undergo various stages of test and certification before approval. “We have not heard of any herbal that has been certified for HIV treatment,” he said. Regarding the battle against the scourge, Dahiru mentioned that the state has made significant strides in reducing the disease burden. He highlighted that the state has successfully tested and provided medication for 95 percent of suspected cases. Furthermore, 95 percent of those placed on medication have achieved viral suppression.

Francis retired as a player in 1994, shortly before his 40th birthday, having made 632 appearances and scored 235 goals. He then returned to Birmingham as manager between 1996 and 2001 and guided the Blues to the 2001 League Cup final where they lost to Liverpool on penalties. After leaving St Andrew’s, his final managerial post was at Crystal Palace where he spent two years. He also worked as a media pundit with Sky Sports and BT Sport.
