HIV Vaccine Safe Enough To Pass Phase 1 Human Trials
An anonymous reader sends this excerpt from Western University in Canada:
"The first human applied clinical study (SAV CT 01) using a genetically modified killed whole-virus vaccine (SAV001-H) to evaluate its safety and tolerability was initiated in March 2012. This study is a randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled study of killed whole HIV-1 vaccine (SAV001-H) following intramuscular (IM) administration. Infected men and women, 18-50 years of age, have been enrolled in this study and randomized into two treatment groups to administer killed whole HIV-1 vaccine (SAV001-H) or placebo. Sumagen announced today the patient enrollment has progressed smoothly and there have been no adverse effects observed including local reactions, signs/symptoms and laboratory toxicities after SAV001-H injection in all enrolled patients to date. With these interim results, the SAV001-H has proven safety and tolerability in humans and given Sumagen confidence for the next clinical trials to prove its immunogenicity and efficacy evaluation."
That I can tell women that I have the AIDS vaccine at the bar, and can give it to them through intra-muscular administration.
I dunno, I'm starting to think vaccines really do make people retarded.
It all depends on how much you dilute it.
Well, look at it this way:
Worst case scenario, nothing happens. Good-case scenario, it cures aids. Best-case scenario, HIV mutates into something radically worst and gives us the zombie apocalypse we've been waiting for.
WTF am I doing replying to an AC at 5 A.M on a Friday night?
If you will fuck anything that moves and says yes - well you are engaging in risky behavior.
Definitely. The low-risk choice is to find something that says no, then make it stop moving.
You mean that stuff cures HIV and on top of it I get a fashion sense and a higher mean income? Sign me up!
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
At least it would be very easy to identify safe sex partners. If it moans and feels like a corpse... uh...
Damn, my last girlfriend... I think I should get checked.
