Article Abstract:
A team of scientists in February 2003 representing the biotechnology company VaxGen announced the results of the first phase 3 trial to test the efficiency of a vaccine against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although experts have not given up the ultimate goal of a preventive vaccine, they are hopeful that a therapeutic vaccine would help stem the devastating series of disease, disability, and death from AIDS.
