ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Nagico Insurances and the BVI HIV/AIDS Foundation have formed a new partnership with a view to spreading awareness and encouraging counselling and testing in the territory.

This is according to Managing Director of Nagico Insurances Shan Mohamed and the BVI HIV/AIDS Foundation’s Cid Nava who met at a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of Road Town, where members of the popular social organization learned more about the work of the Foundation.

Nava was able to share an idea with Mohamed that had every potential to see a massive HIV/AIDS awareness campaign sweep thought the length and breadth of the Virgin Islands. This seems well on its way to fruition as Nagico Insurances hopped on board as the usual community spirited corporate entity to make the vision come to light in a massive way. It is a raffle that has as the main prize a brand new motor car.

"Know Your Status" is the name of the awareness campaign and of 500 tickets printed less than 100 remains on sale. The lucky winner gets a brand new Mercedes Benz.

Mr Mohamed explained, “He (Cid Nava) shared with us an initiative which is a raffle of a car which will raise much needed proceeds for BVI HIV/AIDS Foundation and I think that it is something that we can identify with and we wanted to lend our support.”

Nagico has purchased a quantity of tickets which will be used on Nagico’s Facebook page to promote the Foundation and the car raffle. “So we want to ask persons to go on our Facebook page and like our page for an opportunity to win these tickets.”

Mohamed said that they are very supportive of the cause of fighting the spread of HIV, breaking the stigma that is attached to the condition, seeing that persons living with and affected by HIV/AIDS get the same care and support as persons living with any other chronic illnesses and in that way raise the level of HVI/AIDS awareness in the VI.

On the other hand President of the BVI HIV/AIDS Foundation Mr Nava was impressed by the move of Nagico and has welcomed with open arms their push. “It’s always nice to work with companies that are creative and are innovative, that really care about the cause, that’s important as the HIV/AIDS Foundation.”

Nava said that Nagico is just one of several entities that have supported them in the cause, with the other being Caribbean Insurers Ltd., another insurance company. “We’ve been very lucky because we’ve had a lot of support from many different organizations in the community. Nagico has been a major supporter and so has Caribbean Insurers Limited who has assisted us to put out the car in front and has sold a lot of tickets for us. We also have a lot of trust companies that have gotten involved,” Mr Nava said.

“Here is your chance to win a 2015 Mercedes Benz! The 2,500th person to like Nagico Insurances BVI will win a ticket to enter the BVI HIV/AIDS Foundation raffle. There will be more raffle ticket giveaways in the coming weeks as part of a partnership between Nagico Insurances and the Foundation as together we raise awareness about HIV/AIDS in the BVI,” states Nagico on their Facebook page.

Both Nava and Mohamed alluded to their new partnership as one that has very promising potential for the future and the fight to raise the level of awareness of HIV/AIDS is in the VI is at an all-time high.

The raffle is set for drawing on at the end of July, 2015. Tickets can be purchased at Caribbean Insurers Ltd., and at International Motors.

    Someone really needs to investigate this organizations financial spending habits. One man traveled to the annual conference in Australia, One man submits his personal phone and internet bills one man takes guests to expensive dinners. This is an NGO not a personal kingdom.

    This is very unfair to persons who bought tickets. The insurance company could have simply made a donation...

      How is this unfair? You don't know what they are planning to do with the tickets. I saw them giving away tickets to the community. Do you still think that is unfair?

    i want to share my experience of how i got cured from HIV by a herbal medicine. It may sound strange! For the past 6years i have spent a lot of money in buying anti-retroviral medicines to strengthen my immune system and keep me healthy, until i read an article on the internet about an Africa Herbalist who uses herbs and roots to cure cancer and all kind of diseases. Though i never believed he can cure HIV, but i decided to give it a try because i was desperate. Then i sent a message to the him on his email(dr5050spelltemple@gmail.com). He prepared herbal medications and send it to me through DHL COURIER SERVICE and i took it as he instructed. 11days after, i went to the hospital to do a checkup, the result came out and i tested NEGATIVE. I'm sharing this with you, because i believe there's someone out here who also desire to have this cure. feel free to send a message to him on his email dr5050spelltemple@gmail.com or call +2347035091135, and am sure he will be willing to help you and you will also have a testimony to share. please inform other victims about this.

    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.
