Wow!!! I am amazed to see people are working on this research!!... Look how this research can affect us. Granted it may not help people who are already POZ. However it will have a tremendous effect on public health and in general to the human society. Nonetheless, it will help eliminate the stigma on HIV. I am super excited. Let it come and who knows HIV prevention may lead to HIV cure.. Salute to that! Bravo!!!

I wonder how long it's going to be before it goes into human trials. Also the vector delivery system is pretty astounding !!! It actually means that if this kind of gene therapy works, it's going to effect so many diseases.

C'mon, you know it wasn't meant that way. No one needs me to defend their point for them, but i think it's being taken out of context. If this vaccine does work, then it's going to be a common feeling among newly infected people that we just missed the boat by a few years, and if research was just a little further down the road, then we would have been spared. I know I certainly will feel that way. I'm sure the millions that have suffered and died would take no comfort in having more people join in their ranks. If no one else had to go through the grief that I have for the past year, then that's more than enough for me. And, if this disease is no longer perceived as a threat to the human population because of a vaccine, then social stigmas will recede, too. And, of course, we will owe it to the dedication of the activists of years past and present, to the loved ones lost, and to the dedicated scientists whose efforts were not in vain.
