HIV NO MORE?



A trial of an HIV vaccine was done and Thailand was and proven to show signs of a protective effect.

Scientists said that the vaccines gave a 31% level of protection in trials among 16,000 heterosexuals aged 18-30.

This is no break through just yet. The scientists now believe that after 26 years of trying to find a vaccine, they are able to travel down the path with confidence.

Most people are arguing that their research was not eveluated properly and must be looked at again. There are many chances where people might not have taken their medication ect. Some of the research done came back in a differnent way. About 74 people who had the placebos became infected with the virus.

The vaccine is not ready to hit the stores just yet and will take some time to figure out what needs to be improved but science is a lot closer than they expected.
