HIV Vaccine Development Receives Boost
By Ipsit, Gaea News NetworkFriday, July 9, 2010
WASHINGTON (GaeaTimes.com)- American scientists are looking forward to develop HIV vaccine which is said to act as a prevention against the deadly disease. Reportedly, the scientists are of the opinion that the HIV vaccine which is currently under development shall be a renaissance in the treatment of AIDS.
The scientists have informed that in their research study, they have come across three powerful antibodies which has the capability to destroy more than 91 percent of HIV strains. They plan to inject the same into an affected body via the HIV vaccine. Following that, the scientists said that they shall discover a similar vaccine for influenza. It was in the body of a 60 year old African-American gay individual where the scientists found the antibodies for HIV. Gary Nabel who happens to be the director of the Vaccine Research Center for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases told the media that it shall take some time before they can confirm the availability of the HIV vaccine. Dr. Nabel further added that following the discovery of the HIV vaccine his research team shall work upon a similar vaccine model to treat influenza virus.
Anthony Fauci the director of NIAID informed that the idea is to develop a universal vaccine which could both act as HIV vaccine and also as an effective vaccine for other mutable viruses. It was also said that the technique can be employed to develop vaccines for cancer. The HIV vaccine is said to enhance the working of the antibodies which shall eliminate the strains of HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus) virus and increase the chances of survival of the patient.

I think what these researchers for the hiv vaccine are doing is marvellous.there is a lot of people who say they are wasting money, because they are giving hope to people living with the virus.some christians say they are working against Gods will,they say its a punishment for gay people.tell me what happens if you were an 8 year old who was raped and got infected,if you were faithful to the father of your child yet he still went out and got you infected.what about your children.people who are hiv negative should stop being selfish and ask themselves if it were them who were in that situation how would they feel.we need to educate ourselves and not be prejudice.i say big ups to dr. sadhir paul and his team for giving us people living with the virus.way the Lord carry on guarding you and may He grant you more wisdom,health,prosperity and wealth.thank you for giving us hope |
