An experimental AIDS vaccine that's worked
better than anything else tried so far is going to be tested in South
Africa, U.S. health officials said Wednesday.
They've tweaked the vaccine, which prevented infection by just about a third, and hope it will work better in this trial.
"For the first time in seven years, the scientific community is
embarking on a large-scale clinical trial of an HIV vaccine, the product
of years of study and experimentation," said Dr. Anthony Fauci,
director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
(NIAID).
NIAID is part of the National Institutes of Health and a co-funder of the trial.
