HIV/AIDS Vaccine To Begin Phase I Human Trials

Posted by timothy on from the soon-enough-mandatory-like-gardasil dept.

An anonymous reader writes "An HIV/AIDS vaccine developed in Ontario has applied for Phase 1 human trials. Safety and immunogenicity studies of the vaccine, dubbed SAV001-H, have already been completed on animals. Phase 1 human trials will check the safety of the vaccine on HIV positive volunteers. Phase 2 will then test immunogenicity."

    If I take the vaccine and I only sleep with my wife and in 10 years I'm HIV free does it work?

    Or is one of the pre-requisites of joining the trial that you commit to sleeping with as many sleeezy whores as you can find?

    These are the questions that keep me from being a productive member of society.....

    Or because they fear it'll cause autism (ala Jenny McCarthy). Combine the two and you have premarital autistic sex! We can't have that! Won't someone think of the children?

    Preposterous. I for one trust my husband completely. When he says he's out on a hiking trip, I know he's out hiking the Appalachian trail, not up to mischief. Perhaps you should be more trustful of your spouse instead of worrying about contracting AIDS.

    Sincerely,
    Jenny Sanford

    I've never heard of GNU/HIV.

    I have heard of GNU/leprosy, what with the open sores and all...
