Aids Vaccine

Researchers at the Oregon Health & Science University may have found a cure for the deadly virus that causes AIDs. When administered to monkeys, the vaccine completely eliminated any trace of SIV, the non-human primate version of HIV, from half of the test subjects. To read more, click below.

Researchers may have created a cure for HIV by transfiguring another virus called cytomegalovirus (CMV), which causes white blood cells to destroy SIV-infected cells. The vaccine was tested on 16 monkeys, who were then infected with SIV. A year afterward, 8 of the monkeys did not show any sign of infection and were SIV negative three years after the experiments. The researchers are now looking to answer why the vaccine did not work on all of the test subjects. This is a positive step towards a cure for HIV, which has become a global pandemic.
