Over the past two weeks we have treated six children from the Ningizimu Special School for disabled children in Durban. Most of the children have learning difficulties.
We treated these children for free as part of good social practice.
All six students responded extremely well and teachers at the school have commented favourably on the amazing visible change in these youngsters.
Having the children in the treatment room was a breath of fresh air. They did their thirty hours of treatment playing cards and other board games. Their sunny disposition was an uplifting influence on the other patients who sometimes take their treatment with a sort of grave reserve.

One of the boys in that group has had hearing difficulties. His mother indicated that they have really battled to get proper treatment for this hearing problem. What is extraordinary is that his hearing has improved radically whilst undergoing the HIVEX treatment. HIV tends to affect everyone differently. It is encouraging that the treatment has had such a discernable beneficial effect on this boy’s hearing problem.
Last Friday, I was invited to the School’s 30th anniversary celebrations. A vibrant festive function with about 300 people! What was clear is that HIVEX has left an indelible stamp on this community.

Our thanks go to Lindiwe Mvubu for making this happen. She is an amazing woman who does considerable work in the HIV arena in disadvantaged communities.
