First Phase of AIDS Vaccine Trials Successful
rbarreira writes "Xinhua online is reporting on the success of the first trial phase of an AIDS vaccine, which was started on March 2005. From the article: '"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.' After the results are further analyzed, 800 more voluntaries may be needed for the second and third phases of the vaccine's trial."
2000 yuan AIDS you!
If this goes well we won't have to close the pools.
Yeah, safe as in "Forty nine healthy people who went up in a space shuttle came back home fine, which proves it's safe".

Really, we're supposed to believe the study had exactly 49 participants? Not 50, or 150?
Pssst, there were 150 participants, but 101 of them died.
Fuck!
I think that even with birth defects a cure for AIDS would be useful.
Plus, for all we know, most males lack a uterus.
they are not dead, they are pining for the fjords
I'm a rabbit startled by the headlights of life
Hmmm, this was China... I think 8 is the lucky number there. Never mind.
This issue is a bit more complicated than you think.
I hate to be a dink, but we've had a way to completely control this infection for about 20 years now; it's called abstinence
No need to preach abstinence here; we at Slashdot have been abstaining from sex all our lives (not by choice though :)
Erotic is when you use a feather. Exotic is when you use the whole chicken.
I was overweight and embarrassed to go anyplace. AYDS helped me get back into a size 12.
Mod me off-topic, I don't care. That video is funny shit.
Becuse all those Africans living on "$1 a day" can afford drugs. Sure...
"I dunno how much AIDS scares y'all, but I got a theory: the day they come out with a cure for AIDS, a guaranteed one-shot cure, on that day there's gonna be fucking in the streets, man."
should be fun.
(ps. I know this is a vaccine, not a cure, but it kinda amounts to the same thing)

Well, it's that time of the year again. We haven't had an AIDS cure post in a few months.
"Things are more moderner than before- bigger, and yet smaller- it's computers-- San Dimas High School football RULES!"
"Also, I think that the slashdotting community would probably not be adverse to you writing down some of your romantic exploits. In fact that's probably what the slashdot's journal was made for: Hot lesbian love ;-)"
Nice going. We finally get a poster that's not a 29-year-old socially-challenged white male living in his parent's basement, and you have to reinforce the "men are pigs" stereotype. Now there's only 3 women that read Slashdot.
BTW, you mean "averse" not "adverse".
BSA: "Would you like a free Software Audit"? me: "No, thanks. My software is all Free".
They can't even cure athlete's foot. Forget about curing AIDS.

abstinence probably cures acne and cancer as well, and leads to better eyesight and higher salaries
I can personally attest that the last two are not the case. :(
