HIV vaccine coming soon?

[firenzi]

This is good news- I would love for us to see it within our lifetime.

"A vaccine that may prevent HIV has been given the green light by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to begin clinical trials in humans, according to Canadian researchers.

The announcement was made on the campus of the University of Western Ontario in London, Ont.

"We have gone through so many different challenges to come to this point," said Dr. Chil-Yong Kang, a researcher and professor at Western's Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry. "This is the first time that I feel very happy and comfortable to initiate this human clinical trial."

Scientists at the University of Western Ontario, financially backed by the pharmaceutical venture company Sumagen, developed the vaccine, which is based on a genetically modified killed whole virus. The vaccine stimulated a strong immune response in early testing and appears to have no adverse effects, according to the researchers.

"FDA approval for human clinical trials is an extremely significant milestone for our vaccine, which has the potential to save the lives of millions of people around the world by preventing HIV infection," said Kang.

He said there have been three clinical trials for an HIV vaccine in the past using live viruses. "None of the researchers in the past have used this approach," he says of his use of a killed virus."

Are you Italian or just like the city?

nope. it aint gonna happen. they have socialized medicine and everyone knows that socialism makes innovation like way crazy impossible. it's obviously a trick to give our good, christian children the gay.

 

[busybody..]

if the FAGS would stop FUCKING everything and EVERYONE

there would be no need for BILLIONS spent on a vaccine

I have always wondered who fucked the monkey that started this disease.

Actually, as I had to point out to an Aussie gal a few years back full of pride that her country's socialized medicine had developed the Cochlear Implant, that it wasn't quite that way as I traced for her the line of US research that it was based on.

Besides, we already have a vaccine.

Stop having unprotected promiscuous sex and stop destroying your immune system with drugs and alcohol and if they say you have tested positive for the remains of the virus via antibodies, refuse the fucking AZT if you want to live.

'Cause we killed a lot of unsuspecting gay people with that stuff...

I know

My answer stands

Not Italian. Just not very inventive with names- I look up and the first thing or book I see is it.

Ever since Canada legalized gay marriage, it's mandatory for every citizen to have homosexual relations at least once and 10% of all marriages performed in any give year must be same sex. This vaccine should help The Agenda along nicely.

HIV is spreading faster in heterosexual women and intravenous drug users.

I have always wondered who fucked the monkey that started this disease.

I think humans first got infected by eating monkeys, not fucking them

 

[pointless]

only once? how lame.

 

[SkAoUt]

Hopes have been dashed so many times in the race for a vaccine I'd rather not get too excited. Besides like Robert Gallo mentioned Only a pathologist can declare a patient cured...

I found this article to be rather informative as someone who knows almost nothing about the HIV cure merry go round. http://nymag.com/health/features/aids-cure-2011-6/

i do believe the bullshit that followed that line was what aj was referring to. in case you forgot he's kind of an asshole.

I know he believes HIV is a myth made up to con research dollars out of the gubmint, but even he isn't stupid enough to call AZT a vaccine...is he?

Interesting...

I was told that it wasn't someone who fucked a monkey, but someone was butchering a monkey who had the disease, slipped ant cut themselves and was exposed to the blood.

yeah, he totally is.

Is this really a good thing? 7 Billion assholes on planet earth so far....won't be long before we are dangerously close to running out of resources on a global scale....

Looks like all the programs they put out there to provide clean syringes to the junkies might actually be working.

Maybe if they ate it raw and had some kind of open wound that came into contact with the animals fluids. HIV is very finniky virus that can't live outside a living host for very long...it would never make it through the cooking. Fucking a monkey is far more plausible method of contraction.

I have heard that when Jonas Salt was working on his polio vaccine that they tested on monkeys and children of the native Africans, and that it got started in those test

Looks like no one knows for sure...

My info came from my Anthropology professor when we were talking about Immunity to diseases... Apparently there is a group of prostitutes somewhere in Africa that can't get HIV

I think he's saying the vaccine is to not have unprotected sex and not use drugs or alcohol (when did anyone get HIV from drinking?). Just like how we don't need artificial methods of contraception because we can rely on abstinence, I guess.

Very true, which is why educating women, giving them access to healthcare, and promoting birth control and abortion is so important.

Looks like all the programs they put out there to provide clean syringes to the junkies might actually be working.

Handing out syringes doesn't work, because street addicts will still reuse them. What works are safe injection sites, like the one in Vancouver, BC.

I'm not sure but I think it may be eaten raw sometimes- like ritualistically- including the brains- primates may be too close to us for us to consume safely. Monkeys are pretty strong and vicious, but I guess anything is possible.
