HIV Vaccine Approval For Human Trials 365
An anonymous reader writes with news that researchers from the University of Western Ontario have been given approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to begin testing an HIV vaccine in humans. From the article:
"The vaccine is the first based on a genetically modified killed whole virus, [researchers said.] ... a clinical trial on 40 HIV-positive volunteers will begin next month. That phase will last a year, after which 600 HIV-negative volunteers will see how the vaccine impacts their immune systems. A final phase, which will take about three years, will involve about 6,000 HIV-negative volunteers."

In modern Africa... (Score:0, Funny)
Africans still rape and dissect virgin living albino Africans on claims that such non-melanized African can cure AIDS or give good luck in business and fishing.
Africans still are known as enduring among fellow Africans where RAPE is a weapon by conquering troops that is unlimited to grown men as punnishment for dessertion and children and women to muster submittance and to babies as punnishment against existing family.
And here we see on Slashdot that supposes the probability of bestiality by Africans as being the intent to malign Africans more than they already admit theirselves to be? In al depravity, Germany and Rome was the center of much vile filth and yet published knowledge of this goes unrestricted yet when someone publishes anything on Africa that continues to this day thousands of years beyond it is all suddenly an eschewing of circumstance or racism?
OH PLEASE: Africans already have the reputation of being both cruel and cowardly, and if bestiality ever was part of their character then it would actually be positive because they would defend the animal they love more than their harrem of underrage girls.
FUCK YOU, OP.
