Research in Thailand on a HIV vaccine will probably once again ignite arguments over what money should be spent on. The fact is there is a 31% sucess rate in preventing infection. However now the question becomes should they money into the vaccine or getting the retro-virals to those already infected. They tested certain strains of the virus in Thailand and also was hoping to lighten the viral load after using the vaccine.
I think this is a great step towards finding a 100% cure. I think it is a little strange that they can test it on people, actually infecting the other 69% people with HIV. It seems a little dangerous. I dont know what they said to actually convince people to participate in the trials. It just seems a little strange to me.
