A promising vaccine for AIDS failed last year. After spending a lot of time and money on research, scientists are becoming pessimistic about the possibility of ever getting a vaccine. While they ponder the question, perhaps they should also put some time and energy into working on the drugs they have for people already infected. Over time, your body will get used to it. Unless you’re Magic Johnson, he seems healthy as a horse.
“Most scientists involved in Aids research believe that a vaccine against HIV is further away than ever and some have admitted that effective immunisation against the virus may never be possible, according to an unprecedented poll conducted by The Independent.
