BEIJING, September 26, according to Xinhua, "Qiao Bao" is a comprehensive report by the American-Chinese scientist, Dr. Jiao Juan (Joseph Chiu) led the research team and the "National Research Center for Allergy and Infectious Diseases," sponsored by experiments on the 24th announced developed in the history of the first one can prevent HIV infection in experimental vaccine. This is not only deadly sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS research in the watershed, but also surprising results.
 

World Health Organization (WHO) standards with the United Nations AIDS Agency (UNAIDS) said that the experimental results for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vaccine research "to inject new hope", even though the researchers said the vaccine could take years to become available for the general public.

He graduated from New York, Albert Einstein College of Medicine Jiaojuan, currently in Bangkok, Thailand. He was in the United States since 2002, the National Health Department (NIH) is responsible for co-ordination of all AIDS-related research. Seconded to the War Department a few months ago in Bangkok, Thailand, the Department of Health AIDS Research Center, led a final breakthrough. Day quote Jiaojuan CNN24 as saying, after experiment, the new vaccine can actually prevent AIDS.

The researchers said the vaccine with the failure of earlier experimental ALVAC vaccine and AIDSVAX vaccines and "ready ─ enhanced strategy", ALVAC let the immune system is ready to attack HIV, AIDSVAX further enhance the reaction, can reduce HIV infection rates over 31% . However, the vaccine has been infected with HIV disease is invalid. The world's largest AIDS vaccine experiment, there are more than 16,000 volunteers.

Helped lead the study of gold (Jerome Kim) Colonel said that despite the modest effect of the vaccine, but "it is the first evidence to show that we can have safe and effective preventive vaccine."

The research director of the Center Buddha qi (Anthony Fauci) reminds, this is not "the end of AIDS vaccine research." But he said he was surprised by the experimental results and happy. Buddha Qi said: "This gives me the possibility to improve this outcome is cautiously optimistic that this is something we can do."

In addition, the scientists emphasized that the study of the use of the HIV strains common in Thailand, so the vaccine is effective against the United States, Africa or elsewhere in the world emerged strain of the virus is still unknown. But even if only a minor effect of the vaccine may also have a huge impact. Global daily increase of new HIV infections since 7500. UNAIDS estimates that in 2007 the world's 200 million people died of AIDS.

Zhong Guangwang Beijing News September 25 (Xinhua Liu days thinking), according to Voice of China, "Yang Guang news" 18:19 to reports, local time, September 24, Thailand, medical researchers and the U.S. military held a press conference in Bangkok, issued a joint statement announced that they discovered through large-scale experiment, a new type of AIDS vaccine can reduce the risk of HIV infection in about one-third.
 
Allegedly, this is a confirmation of the world's first have a certain effect of AIDS vaccine immunization.

This "combined vaccine" trial by the U.S. military and the Ministry of Health co-chaired by Thailand, from October 2003 started to develop, with a total cost of 105 million U.S. dollars, which is the largest human AIDS vaccine trial. Researchers in Thailand has selected the age of 18 to 30 years a total of 16000 volunteers to participate in the pilot. After a long trial observation, the results showed that in 8197 vaccinated volunteers, 51 people were infected with HIV, but in the absence of vaccine volunteers, there are 74 people infected, the vaccine reduced the risk of infection group of 31.2%. Before that, there is no any kind of vaccine for AIDS could have such immunity.

In fact human beings as early as 1983 identified the AIDS virus, but over the past 30 years, the field of vaccine research and development is "conspicuous failure" and even once led some scientists believe that humans may never find an effective AIDS vaccine . Therefore, the "combined vaccine" birth, is considered one of man against the AIDS virus watershed, has a "milestone" and "historic" significance.

For this release the results of new vaccines, the global, many experts are still cautious. World Health Organization and UNAIDS joint statement also said, objectively speaking, a vaccine to reduce the risk of infection less than one-third of the immune effect is far from reaching a large scale into the clinical application of standards. WHO also said that the current test results, it could not approve the production of this vaccine, because further studies are needed to confirm this vaccine to the rest of the world population is able to produce the same immunity. However, the importance of this vaccine is that it broke up the field of human AIDS vaccine research the long-term stagnation of the haze, gave rise to new hope for the success of the fight against AIDS.
