 “One of my colleagues took the HIV prevention injection, Lenacapavir, and started experiencing this reaction shortly after” — Nigerian nurse A Nigerian nurse has shared a video showing the skin reaction she says one of her colleagues experienced after taking lenacapavir, an HIV prevention injection. The nurse, however, stressed that the reaction does not mean everyone who takes the injection will experience similar side effects, revealing that she and her roommate had also taken it without experiencing any adverse reactions. According to her, some medications can cause side effects or uncommon adverse reactions in certain people, which is why anyone taking the injection should be monitored by a healthcare professional. She advised people who experience any unusual signs or reactions after taking the injection to report them to the healthcare provider or facility where they received it.

POLLUTION LINKED TO FRENCH-BRITISH OIL FIRM'S CONGO OPERATIONS POSES HEALTH RISKS, REPORT SAYS. (PHOTO)


 Pollution linked to French-British oil firm's Congo operations poses health risks, report says


Human Rights Watch said on Monday pollution linked to the operations of French-British oil firm Perenco in the Democratic Republic of Congo ​was exposing nearby communities to health risks, including respiratory illnesses and ‌symptoms such as chest pain.


Perenco is the country's sole oil producer, operating both onshore and offshore facilities around the town of Muanda along Congo's 37-km (23-mile) Atlantic coastline, pumping ​around 19,500 barrels of oil per day, Reuters reported.


Human Rights Watch said its ​findings were based on interviews with 45 residents, oil workers, ⁠health professionals, officials and experts, as well as analysis of satellite imagery, ​videos and photographs from the area.


The group said remote-sensing data and witness accounts ​indicated flaring, which is largely prohibited under Congolese law, at five sites between January 2025 and March 2026, including one less than 80 metres (262 feet) from homes. It cited ​residents reporting respiratory illnesses and other symptoms such as chest pain, headaches ​and nausea.


The group also said Perenco had not prevented oil spills from wells and pipelines ‌from ⁠leaking into the soil and riverbeds, citing two previous studies as additional evidence.


An investigation by Congo's Senate in 2013 found lead and mercury levels above WHO drinking-water guidelines. A 2025 study by researchers from universities in Congo and ​Cameroon found hydrocarbons ​and other pollutants ⁠in contaminated soil near Muanda posed potential risks to human health.
