By Ambassador Oyedeji CEO RBFD blogger
Mrs Makinde, who is the chairperson for board of the Oyo State Agency for the Control of AIDS, led the Oyo State contingent to the conference which held between 23rd and 26th July, 2023, used the opportunity to solicit support not just for HIV programme in Oyo State, but also for the state health system, especially data management.
“Health is one of the pillars which this administration is resting on, and dealing with the scourge of HIV in our society is of utmost importance to this administration.
The wife of Oyo State Governor, Engineer Tamunominini Makinde, attended the 12th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Science in Brisbane, Australia, where advancements in taming HIV were discussed.
At the conference, which is the world’s most influential meeting on HIV research and its applications, hope for the cure of HIV was raised as delegates were introduced to the “Geneva patient”, the sixth person considered to be “cured” of HIV.
The Geneva patient is a Caucasian male whose viral load remains undetectable after 20 months of discontinuing antiretroviral therapy (ART)
