probably, but its the first time they have some evidence of progress (even if the success rate is only around 31%)
A Vaccine has been developed that reduces the risk of HIV, AIDS w/ evidence; historic milestone!

Seriously though, in my opinion, this is almost BEGGING for idiots to use this, go ham, and die taking their "chances" due to "naturalselection."
It's like they're giving you the rope and the chair with the messed up legs, you just have to put your neck in the rope and wobble the chair.

Sadly most people won't even notice the 31% success rate and just see Vaccine and it will be like watching a horrible game ofOriginally Posted by J Burner
Saw this earlier this morning, I was likebut then I kept reading and learned about the 31% success rate (which means the vaccine fails almost 70% of the time). Still have a long way to go, but nice to see we're getting somewhere finally.

Tell that to all the people who got AIDS from cheating spouse, or a blood transfusion, or people in impoverished areas of Africa that don't even know what a condom is.
Unfortunately because today's society inevitability to have discpline, self-control, and easily
submitting into self indulgence has gotten us so far into this @#%% that innocent ones can become infected.
Its 2010 and we still have threads about going in raw.

Blame that on the patent length for medication (5 years). Drugs aren't made overnight. It takes at least 20 years to make a drug at the expense ofbillions of dollars. The pharm. companies are trying to make back as much as they can before the patent expires.

You'd be a fool to think that there aren't vaccines out there...They have cures to a lot of stuff out there but the risks are too high and thevariances too broad for any of it to be implemented on a wide scale beyond the supervision of a research lab.

No...it was the people with the vacinne were 30% less likely to get aidsOriginally Posted by J Burner

btw who else notice how messed up this study was...I mean I know the importance of a placebo, but putting people under the impression that they got vaccinatedand than they go out and get aids

like what?
HIV/AIDS is hard to "cure" because:
- there's no grace period. some viruses take a few days to generate and search for their target cells - HIV is practically instantaneous. the humanbody's antibodies don't have enough time to replicate in response to the infection.
- it mirrors human antigens, so it's hard for antibodies to find targets.
- the virus establishes latency early on, meaning it can "hide" itself in host cells. this tricks the immune system into thinking nothing is wrongand everything's peachy. this allows the disease to run rampant without detection.
- it mutates faster than almost any virus known to man. by the time scientists have developed a medicine, its atomic structure has already transformed intosomething completely different.
- it develops resistance to whatever drugs the medical world has developed.
- it destroys the immune system's cells.
as of today, there are currently less than 30 drugs on the market to help people live/cope with HIV/AIDS, andthey're super expensive. one of the last treatments is an injection - i can't seem to remember the name - that's over $1,000.00 per shot.
i hate to be a debbie downer but i really don't think a vaccine will be developed anytime in the near future. the 2009 AIDS conference that was held in NYthis past summer was awful and depressing to listen to - scientists were pretty much admitting that we're no closer to a cure than we were 20 years ago.
