How long does the FDA take to approve a medication?
It usually takes about 10 years for a drug to be developed and approved for prescription. Many people would like to take the newest medicine as soon as it is proven to work. However, even after a drug has been successful in a Phase III trial, it still may take six to 12 months before that drug is approved for prescription.
Who approved the new 5 years procedure ? Lol

george77,
I believe the article was referring to potential vaccines already in the pipeline since research seems to be leaning toward vaccines again.
Ann,
I see you have joined the ranks of the despaired. Please remember --- Past performance doesn't insure future result!
sensual1973,
Without money, you will never get a cure or a vaccine. (also, shares and stock are the same financial vehicle).

May I suggest curbing your enthusiasm? I believe the key language is contained in the first two paragraphs of the article:
Malaria. Tuberculosis. Alzheimer's disease. AIDS. Pandemic flu. Genital herpes. Urinary tract infections. Grass allergies. Traveler's diarrhea. You name it, the pharmaceutical industry is working on a vaccine to prevent it.
Many could be on the market in five years or less.
The most optimistic possible interpretation of this language is that vaccines for some of the nine specific conditions listed could be on the market in five years or less. In addition, "[y]ou name it" would seem to imply that there are other conditions for which Pharma is seeking vaccines. Nothing in the article says anything specific about the timeline for development of an HIV vaccine.
Sorry to be a wet blanket, but construing this to mean that we might see some kind of HIV vaccine within five years is quite a stretch.

bobino,
There are no guarantees in research. But I'm glad to see all the research dollars going to find a vaccine for hiv.

Oh ye of little faith
It took 183 years to eradicate smallpox, from the discovery of the first
vaccine.
