‘Stigma’: Participant in aborted UQ Covid vaccine trial still returning false positive HIV tests four years on

 

A man who took part in the University of Queensland’s aborted $1b Covid vaccine trial faces a “distressing” reality four years on.

 

A Brisbane man who took part in the University of Queensland’s aborted Covid vaccine trial is still returning “false positive” HIV tests four years later.

 

James, who asked to use a pseudonym due to the fear of “stigma”, says he was told the side effect would likely go away after a few months — only to discover in mid-2023 that he was still triggering the test.

 

“There is [a stigma], there always will be,” the 35-year-old professional said.

 

“I was told it should go away after a few months. It’s been years. I was very distressed — it’s still here.”

 

UQ and CSL abandoned the promising Covid vaccine candidate in late 2020 after a several of the 216 phase one trial participants returned false positive HIV tests.

 

They were not infected with HIV, and there was no possibility of contracting the virus.

 

Participants in the trial, conducted by Nucleus Network for UQ, were fully informed that the vaccine could theoretically trigger a false positive HIV response, but the researchers had believed the chance was low.

 

“It is expected that this response will wane over time but we do not know how long this will take,” Nucleus Network said in a July 2021 letter to participants.

 

“If you have concerns about the vaccine induced HIV diagnostic interference (i.e. a positive HIV status), you will be provided with advice and counselling. If you require ongoing monitoring of HIV diagnostic interference beyond the conclusion of the study, you will be offered the opportunity to return for optional annual follow-up visits.”

They gave you VAIDS and are now claiming your test is wrong when it confirms that. FFS

Albanese government puts women's health in the spotlight with $573mn package ahead of election

 

Sky News can reveal the government will announce a $573 million package aimed at women's health, as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese claims the Coalition does not “represent women”.

 

The Albanese government has ramped up its re-election campaign with a major announcement focusing on women’s health expected this week.

 

Sky News can reveal the federal government has been preparing to announce a $573 million package aimed at improving healthcare access and treatment for women.

 

Aged Care Minister Anika Wells confirmed the women's healthcare package on Sunday Agenda with Political Editor Andrew Clennell.

 

"The Albanese government are announced half a billion dollars worth of game changing policy for women's health," Ms Wells said on Sunday.

 

"The ability to go to a chemist and get an oral contraceptive or UTI treatment is something that people desperately need.

 

“It's an area that women really do need their government understand them and treat them when they need it.”

 

Some of the medicines will be made available from March 1, while the remaining treatments will be made available as "quickly as possible”.
