Possible AIDS vaccine...

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2006-08/18/content_4980121.htm
The first phase of clinical trials indicates China's first AIDS vaccine is safe and possibly effective, government officials announced at the press conference after a two-month-odd assessment.
"Forty-nine healthy people who received the injection showed no severe adverse reactions after 180 days, proving the vaccine was safe," said Zhang Wei, head of the pharmaceutical registration department of the SFDA.
"The recipients appeared immune to the HIV-1 virus 15 days after the injection, indicating the vaccine worked well in stimulating the body's immunity," he told the press conference.
The results mark the end of the first phase of the clinical trials of the AIDS vaccine, which focused on the vaccine's safety.

Sounds promising :thumb:.
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    Brilliant!

    China's action against AIDS is at least taking effect... and what an effect! Hopefully, in a couple of generations this Sex-Ed will have paid off too, and less promiscuity will stem the spread.

    Good for China. Let's hope they give the UN/PLA guys some and the Chinese PLA/UN guys in Africa can distribute it.

    I've always thought there'd be a vaccine, rather than a cure, but it definitely is very encouraging news :)

    Well done China. This is excellent news. Let's hope Phase Two goes just as promisingly.
