Scientists Say No Hope For AIDS Treatment In The Near Future
By on April 25th, 2008 |210 views
Many U.S and British Aids researchers said that they see a little hope of a near solution or treatment for patients who have HIV - AIDS. Only two of the 35 scientis who were completed a survey that was done by the Britian’a Independent newspaper were optimistic about finding a vaccine for HIV. Their survey found that nearly two-third said that an HIV vaccine will not be developed within the next 10 years. Some of the scientists said it may take at least 20 more years of research.
Researchers said the direction of AIDS research needs to change after the failure last year of a promising prototype vaccine used as an animal model for more than a decade. AIDS researcher Robert Gallo told the newspaper the vaccine’s failure is similar to the Challenger disaster that forced the space agency to ground its space shuttle fleet for years.
