Carefull here... dont throw away your rubbers yet.
This 'vaccine' is not the silver bullet doctors have been looking for to prevent HIV infections.

A person on this vaccine could also infect others if risks are not prevented. |

just because they have a vaccine, people arent gonna go out there and have sex with just anyone
but im very glad they're moving in the right situation and getting more answers. as long as we can prevent it happening then maybe in the next 10-20 years we'll have little or no cases of AIDS or HIV... |
