The experimental vaccine was hailed as a significant breakthrough after outstanding success in animal trials.

Cytomegalovirus, which belongs to the herpes family, enables the immune system to be constantly on the alert for HIV. And, uniquely, the injected vaccine is carried by a persistent virus that remains in the body for life. Researchers in the US used different versions against a monkey form of Aids.

Now, scientists are preparing to test its potential in human trials after independent experts described it as significant and exciting.

More than half the rhesus macaques treated responded to the point where even the most sensitive tests detected no signs of the virus.

To date, most of the animals have maintained control over the virus for more than a year, gradually showing no indication that they had ever been infected. The findings suggest the vaccine could be effective enough to rid the body of the immunodeficiency virus completely, according to the scientists writing in the journal Nature.

Conventional anti-retroviral therapies are able to control HIV infection but cannot clear the virus from its hiding places within the immune system’s white blood cells.

Prof Robin Shattock, an expert in cellular and molecular infection at Imperial College in London, said the study was significant. ‘People had given up, to a large extent, in trying to develop vaccines that could control HIV rather than protect from infection,’ he said. ‘This puts it firmly back on the table.’

Jason Warriner, clinical director of the Terrence Higgins Trust, said the vaccine was an ‘exciting new approach’.

There are estimated to be 33million people worldwide living with HIV/Aids.

nice this will help the population and kill Trojans bankroll.

Hahaha on queue as always....

Val. i don't that there is an other one like you brother

Whats a "Trojan"? lol, but yeah this is awesome. Hopefully it will come through on the human side of testing.

yeah

I can't tell if you're just being a forum troll...or if you really don't know what they are? lol. It's a condom company.

I know what they are!! Its a running joke with friends and family cause I have a daughter!

Just being silly. Which will happen a lot more now that work will be starting. It's a family business with a few odds and ends. Doing concrete in 80+ *F 100% humidity weather fries your brain pretty well and some of the jokes are definately not PG rated! Dragon knows all about it, he has had the either fortunate or unfortunate pleasure of working with us.

do lots of concrete work myself and know what you mean..............better have a thick skin for the jabs at lunch time.

typical example that i can remember

finisher (Frank) says during a lunch break: Don't know what's up with my wife

Co worker: What do you mean Frank (serious sounding)

Frank: She just doesn't seem very good in the sack anymore

Co worker replies: Really Frank, I didn't think she was so bad.

This stuff goes on all day sometimes, I think it's a way to relieve stress.

Strangely, the new crowd of immigrants don't seem to enjoy it that much, just the old dogs, like myself.

lol, theres lots of that!! Only problem is, being that its me, my father, my two brothers, a neighborhood kid we grew up with and my nephew, my uncle and sometimes a few others depending on size of job, it gets to be a little odd at times

earthman, thats all that happens in high school at lunch.

Person One: 'Dude, cookies are only a dollar!"
Person Two: "So is your sister "

This is scary news about the HIV breakthough ....

According to Eddy Murphy: Once we cure Aids/HIV, then the next disease to follow simply makes your wanker explode when you put it in.

That's it .. I quite at that point.

High school sounds good.........Us old guys want to be young again, but alas the dementia keeps coming.
