A vaccine that may prevent HIV has been given the green light by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to begin clinical trials in humans, according to Canadian researchers.
The announcement was made on the campus of the University of Western Ontario in London, Ont.
"We have gone through so many different challenges to come to this point," said Dr. Chil-Yong Kang, a researcher and professor at Western's Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry. "This is the first time that I feel very happy and comfortable to initiate this human clinical trial."
Could this be the end of a epidemic that has plagued the world for years?

Lets hope that it works and gets approved i hate to see people suffer from something like HIV and then AIDS.
Even with all the amazing medicine for HIV/AIDS it would be even better for people not to get this in the first place.
people's health has been steadily declining for decades, not getting better.

Correct me if I am wrong, but in order to test this "vaccine" would a person not have to have the vaccination, then be infected with HIV to test the vaccine's effectiveness?
With that thought in mind, Who the hell would let them infect them with HIV?

Shenanigans. People are living to a much older age now than in the past. As long as you're not one of those people that look like they have a bale of hay shoved down your jeans.
