ASK:
What the status of the most recent HIV research? Any updates about the AID/HIV research?
ANSWER:
I would like to point out that May 18th is HIV Vaccine Awareness Day. There are dozens of HIV clinical trails. The HVTN 100 is a HIV study that takes place in Cape Town, Africa. This is the most recent study that I know of that is showing how effective the HIV vaccine is. This study is based on the results of U.S military personally that participated in HIV Research, RV 144 clinical trail in Thailand. The RV 144 study was the first HIV study to prove that a HIV vaccine could prevent HIV infections 31.2% of the time. Hopefully the HVTN will increase the effectiveness of the HIV vaccine. If you want to read more about this topic go to the following website. The second link contains information about various HIV studies.
