I would never test for that drug.

doc - "hey your vacinated, go try and get HIV"

you - "ok"

doc - "the tests were successful, sadly you got HIV, but 31% of the people who weren't on the placebo like you are perfectly fine"

I was also thinking about that...

Maybe they gave the vaccine to high-risk groups like prostitutes?

 

That's what they said on the news this morning ...

 

I could be wrong but I suspect that a lot of good and bad will come out of this if they do develop a successful vaccine that can reduce infections by more than 66%. While it would be great to eliminate (or reduce) the suffering from AIDs around the world, it also could eliminate a lot of people's fears associated with promiscuous unprotected sex, and a mutation of the HIV virus (or another virus altogether) could spread and possibly be an even worse epidemic.
