Cure For HIV now available?.

For years, people were wondering when can they stop wearing condoms while having s*x with their partners, well it looks like the time is right around the corner.

It seems the long awaited cure for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) – a lentivirus that causes HIV infection and over time acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, AIDS, has been invented by scientists.

Below is how popular U.S gossip website, MediaTakeOut reported the story;

For years, people were wondering WHEN CAN THEY REMOVE THEIR CONDOMS . . . well it looks like it’s right around the corner.

Scientists have for the FIRST TIME EVER – proved that they can CURE HIV. Yesterday scientists CONFIRMED that they were able to edit out HIV-1 DNA from the genome of human immune cells, preventing virus replication and reinfection of the cleared cells.

In layman’s language, they used GENE THERAPY to cure HIV in HUMAN cells.

Dr. Kamel Khalili, director of the Comprehensive NeuroAIDS Center at Temple University claims that they are ready to put his new gene therapy into a new drug that will cure HIV in patients even after they stop taking the drugs.

“The findings are important on multiple levels. They demonstrate the effectiveness of our gene editing system in eliminating HIV from the DNA of CD4 T-cells and, by introducing mutations into the viral genome, permanently inactivating its replication. Further, they show that the system can protect cells from reinfection and that the technology is safe for the cells, with no toxic effects,” Khalili said in a press release.

Burundi launches drive to register all foreigners

Burundi launched a drive Tuesday to register all foreigners, sparking fears among overseas nationals that the scheme could be a pretext for government surveillance.

All non-Burundians in the crisis-hit country will be required to report to border police offices in the coming two months, according to a public security ministry spokesman

.
Several foreigners told AFP they feared it was a pretext to track them, and Rwandans said the process could lead to their community being victimised.
But Public Security Minister Alain-Guillaume Bunyoni insisted last month that the move was aimed at granting foreigners a biometric ID card.

Foreign nationals — who also include people from West Africa including Congolese, as well as Indians — will be required to attend police stations in person and carry their travel documents.

“We don’t know how the police will use this data and with the violence that has already struck the Rwandan community… I think that I will also have to leave he country,” said a Rwandan national born in Burundi 40 years ago.
Thousands of Rwandans who lived in Burundi have fled the country since the start of the crisis after several arrests within their community.

         Relations between Burundi and Rwanda are at a low ebb, with Bujumbura and the United Nations accusing Kigali of supporting Burundian rebels.
Burundi was plunged into crisis following over President Pierre Nkurunziza’s bid for a third term which he went on to win in a July election.
More than 400 people have been killed since the violence erupted in April and more than 240,000 have fled

U.S Calls For Release Of Uganda's Opposition Leader

The United States called for the release of Uganda’s opposition leader, Kizza Besigye, who has been under house arrest since Friday, before President Yoweri Museveni was declared the winner of a presidential election marred by widespread irregularities.

Mr. Museveni won last week’s vote with more than 60 percent of the vote, according to the electoral commission; Mr. Besigye had 35 percent.

“We call for his immediate release and the restoration of access to all social media sites,” the State Department said Saturday evening. “Delays in the delivery of voting materials, reports of pre-checked ballots and vote buying” and “excessive use of force by police” had undermined the vote, it said.

“The Ugandan people deserved better.”

Mr. Besigye was arrested Friday after the police stormed his party’s headquarters. He was there tallying votes, which his party said included wins at polling sites in Uganda’s north, in Kampala and in other areas of the country. The election ran smoothly around the countryside, according to electoral observers, but not in Kampala, the capital, where opposition parties get much of their support. Voting there started up to seven hours late because the ballot papers were not available.

Mr. Besigye rejected the electoral commission’s results.

On Sunday, access to social networking sites remained blocked. Equally critical, mobile-money services — the equivalent of using a debit card — also remained blocked.

Both Mr. Besigye, as well as another candidate, Amama Mbabazi, the second-most popular challenger, and until recently the prime minister, remained under effective house arrest. Gen. Katumba Wamala was also said to be under scrutiny, after results showed Mr. Museveni had not performed well at the polls at army barracks. A Uganda army spokesman said soldiers were “free to choose anyone they want.”

“Democracy is on trial,” Mr. Besigye said on Twitter, through a virtual private network.

Everything seemed so different last weekend. In elegant dress and sharp suits, the country’s elite rubbed shoulders and cameras followed candidates on the red carpet, as Ugandans watched their president publicly debate politics for the first time. There were several sharp exchanges, but the historic moment was heralded as metamorphic.

Since then, Mr. Besigye has been arrested four times, and at least two people have been killed and over 20 injured in rioting that the authorities have combated using tear gas and clubs.

“The state can do even more,” President Museveni said, in response to clampdowns on communication. “People who think the state is something to joke, that is just a test.” He also hinted he would be ready to work with Mr. Besigye and Mr. Mbabazi if they returned to his governing party, a sign that mediation from foreign powers could become effective.

As night fell on Sunday, so did the veil on communications, and underneath lay the silenced remains of Thursday’s anguish.

“I wll never vote ag’n,” read a Twitter post from one voter who wrote that Mr. Besigye had 1,256 votes compared with 628 votes for Mr. Museveni at his polling site when the results were tallied Thursday. But the commission had said Mr. Museveni garnered 827 votes and Mr. Besigye 260.

One screenshot posted to Twitter of results suggested that Mr. Museveni had earned 760 votes, compared with just two votes for Mr. Besigye, at a polling station with only 437 registered voters.

A video posted online showed voters at one polling site seemingly voting on torn rips of school notebook paper.

“Voice stolen thru ballot stuffing & cheating,” read a Twitter post from Winnie Byanyima, the wife of Mr. Besigye, a political force herself, and the executive director of the charity Oxfam International.

Chelsea billionaire owner Abramovich reportedly rejects £35m bid from Monaco for Jose Mourinho

The Portuguese is under immense pressure having lost over 60% of games played this season and is a target for the French principality club, but Abramovich has reportedly rejected a mammoth bid for his coach's services and wants Mourinho to stay on for a while despite the poor run.

The Ligue 1 side, largely bankrolled by businessman Dmitry Rybolovlev, offered to buy out the remainder of Mourinho's contract. However, Blues owner Abramovich has offered him support and has told Monaco's middlemen he won't sell Mourinho for that price, although it is believed Mourinho could be got if the fee is doubled to £71m.

According to Sportsmail, Alessandro Proto, a Chelsea shareholder claims he met Roman Abramovich in London in a bid to prise away Chelsea's beleaguered manager.

The Russian billionaire rejected the £35m offer on a day his manager insisted he would remain in London until 2019.

It represents a strong show of faith from Abramovich, who had been urged to dispense of Mourinho after six League defeats with the champions lying 15th.

A statement was released by Proto's company, Proto Enterprises, to a Spanish news agency stating the meeting had taken place in London earlier in the day.

Proto Enterprises confirmed its authenticity to Sportsmail on Tuesday night and alleged Abramovich could be interested in accepting should they double the offer to £71m.

BVN Scam: Even The Most Cautious Person May Fall For This One

One of our readers sent this in and i think its very
important that you all go through it so that you
don't fall victim too because this is to real for
someone not to fall victim. Kindly read below:
“From a friend……..Good morning
Please read this carefully, it may save you a few
hundred, or a few thousand, or may be a few
million bucks. It’s a personal experience, a true
event that happened this afternoon. I am Sunday
Adewole, I just fell victim of fraudsters a few
hours ago. I am an account holder with
StanbicIBTC bank, I am trying to put fund
together to pay for my daughter’s tuition fee in
CU in which case the institution already resumed
last week. Yesterday afternoon, I got a call from
somebody purportedly from StanbicIBTC who said
“Am I speaking with Dr. Adewole” (called out my
other names) to which I answered in the
affirmative. He said he called in respect of my
BVN which I was observed not to have done, I
replied that I already had it done with Skye bank
and he said the bank will send me a link so that
my account with Stanbic will be linked with the
BVN. True to our conversation, I receive a
message from StanbicIBTC in which an OTP was
sent to my phone. A few minutes later, he called
to ask if I got the the SMS, I told him yes but I
can’t do anything about it cos I was driving. He
said no problem I should call out the numbers
which I did and he thanked me for my
cooperation in a customer service manner. I heard
nothing since then till this afternoon at precisely
13:00 hrs when I received a SMS from
StanbicIBTC informing me of a debit transaction
which cleared my account to the lowest thousand,
i.e. I was left with a paltry N685 (six hundred and
eighty five naira). I called my account officer who
confirmed to me that I have fallen victim of
fraudsters and he checked up on my account and
saw that the recipient acct is in First Bank. My
puzzle is how did they get my account details?
How were they able to generate an OTP to my
phone. I am waiting to see what my bank would
do on it. In the mean time, please be aware of
what the 419 people can do. I’ll keep you posted
on any new development.”

No need to sell a kidney! Sperm banks offers College graduates money to buy IPhone 6 in exchange for sperm

Many Chinese have joked about selling their
kidneys for Apple products but it seems there is a
better and less riskier alternative. A sperm bank in
Shanghai, China is inviting qualified college
graduates over 5’5 tall and free of disease to
donate sperm in exchange for money to buy an
iPhone 6S.
"No need to sell a kidney…Shanghai sperm bank
can make your iPhone 6S dream come true," the
ad reads."
The sperm bank ad, which is offering to pay $942
for 17 milliliters of semen, has generated massive
social media conversation. Sperm banks are
hoping the pitch, which comes ahead of the
release of the iPhone 6S on 25 September, will
help fix a shortage in donors.
The Shanghai Sperm Bank is promising 6,000
yuan for 17 millilitres of semen for those who
qualify to donate. Donors needs to be university
educated, disease-free and over 5 foot 5.
"This is going to make me really suspicious of
anyone with an iPhone 6S" said one user on
Weibo, China’s Twitter.
According to a spokesperson with the Shanghai
Sperm Bank, the campaign has worked well so
far, raising awareness and attracting potential
donors, the state news agency Xinhua reported.
A poll conducted on Sina Weibo shows that
Chinese social media users are split on the
appropriateness of the campaign with close to
20% calling it unseemly and another 27% saying
they will donate immediately. "I need the address
to Hubei Sperm Bank now please" said one user.
