This isn't the first AIDs vaccine to get this far, it's just different from previous ones in that it uses dead virus. Perhaps a different one went to testing back then, or the article you are thinking of was this one applying for permission to test on humans. The approval process is deliberately slow to ensure all data is properly reviewed.

That would be incredible, if they can get rid of HIV. It truly is a terrible disease. I hope that this new vaccine is effective.

If people were just more responsible and waited till marriage to have sex the problem wouldn't exsist

When life gives you lemons, throw them back at life and see if it makes that mistake again.

:) Fingers crossed...
It won't actually be available for years, if at all, but still. I am excite!

Yes. Because as we all know, there are no other ways for the virus to spread. Hence, I was somehow having sex as a fetus. Talk about waiting til marriage, I couldn't wait til birth.

Why not? Spitting in God's face would also mean we would have discover God.

Besides... how could an atheist want to spit in God's face? Don't you believe God doesn't exist in the first place, by definition?

Probably because it's not a literal expression where I actually want to spit in God's face, but rather, a hyperbolic one showing how much humanity would have further its knowledge and technology.

Or you could stop wasting time hating and get on with living?

In the darkness a sound of a horn can be heard in the distance.
Then silence....thundering sound approaches. It begins to rumble the earth and the sky as it draws near. Soon the air above you becomes heavy from the large blasts of wind. The stale air of death consumes you mouth. Then a hand graps your arm and a sudden yank. Your eyes adjust to burst of light.
