Hiv vaccine development hits brick wall




"Scientists are no further forward in developing a vaccine against HIV after more than 20 years of research," Professor David Baltimore has said. 

"Our lack of success may be understandable but it is not acceptable,"

"Some years ago I came to the conclusion that our community had to seriously undertake new approaches or we might find ourselves with a worldwide epidemic and no effective response," Prof Baltimore told the annual meeting of the AAAS in Boston.

"That is just where we are today."
