The article--here (http://my.webmd.com/content/Article/97/104268.htm)--says that a new therapeutic vaccine has shown over an 80% drop in HIV levels and a steady T-cell rate in results from the patients' blood.

Read more in the given linked article above.

On a side note, in the same week, a specialized form of stem cell therapy has helped a 37 year of women paralyed for 20 years walk again. Scientists suspect it to be a cure for paralysis, moreover those with spinal cord injuries. Here (http://sg.news.yahoo.com/041128/1/3ovex.html) is the link to that article.

This really does sound good :)

Although, correct me if i'm wrong, but it sounds more like an on going therapy rather than a vaccine, since it's created from the patients infected blood

I support stem cell research--but only as a byproduct of my support for killing babies.

haha. Just joking, but that's how the fundamentalists make stem cell supporters out to be.

As mentioned earlier stem-cell research was/has been used to cure paralysis, and then a therapeutic vaccine was found to stop HIV. However, within the same two months yet another breakthrough has been made: a scientific drug that, in lab tests, appears to cure tuberculosis.

Good times for sick folks, yes?

And this is why. Just think of all the sin this will cause.
