Nobel Prize winner Warns HIV Vaccine May Never Be Found

A Nobel laureate has claimed that a vaccine for the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) may never be found. According to David Baltimore, who is also the president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the complexity of the disease mean that scientists are no closer to a cure today then when they discovered the link to HIV more than 25 years ago.

A biologist at the California Institute of Technology, Baltimore was awarded the Nobel prize for medicine in 1975 for discovering an enzyme that was later discovered to be the key reproductive mechanism used by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (or HIV). He led a panel of experts in 1986 who concluded that, given the complexity of the problem, a vaccine for AIDS was at least 10 years away. "I still think an AIDS vaccine is 10 years away," he said.

The latest disappointment came last year, after a trial of a promising vaccine produced by the pharmaceutical company Merck was stopped when some recipients became more prone to HIV.

"HIV has found ways to totally fool the immune system so we’ve go to do one better than nature because nature just doesn’t work in this circumstance," he said. "I don’t want to pretend that we have found the route to a new vaccine."

  13. I cheated on my husband and I regret it. My secret boyfriend has hiv. And my worry about getting infected was answered after I got a package from the online store home-bio-test. I tested myself with oraquick oral hiv test and it was positive. I made a mistake once and I don’t want to make another one by transmitting hiv to my husband. I always ask my husband to use condom everytime we have sex for pregnancy reasons, citing side effects from the pill, but he hates that. I hear that once my viral load is undetectable, sex without a condom will again be safe. But it is hard to tell him the truth. I just don’t wanna ruin our marriage. Is there any way to have normal sexual life without infecting my husband hiv?

    Being economical is a thought process more people need to adopt. I feel a lot of people are still in denial about how our economy has altered and how we must live within our means and start saving for emergencies.

  32. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
