| 'There could be an Aids vaccine in four years
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/ar...ze-winner.html Quote:
A French scientist awarded the Nobel Prize for discovering the Aids virus has predicted there would be a 'therapeutic vaccine' for the disease within four years.
Luc Montagnier and his team discovered HIV at the French Pasteur Institute in Paris 25 years ago, and have been awarded the prestigious prize along with other scientists who worked on discovering the root of the virus.
Montagnier, 76, said a treatment could be possible in the future with a 'therapeutic' rather than preventive vaccine for which results might be published in three or four years if financial backing is forthcoming.
'I think it will be possible with a therapeutic vaccine rather than preventative vaccinations. We would give it to people who are already infected.
A therapeutic vaccine prevents disease from flourishing after it has taken hold.
The Nobel Assembly of Sweden's Karolinska Institute praised their work, saying: 'The discovery was one prerequisite for the current understanding of the biology of the disease and its antiretroviral treatment.'
The other half of the Nobel prize was awarded for the German scientist's research that 'went against current dogma' by setting forth that oncogenic human papilloma virus (HPV) caused cervical cancer, the second most common cancer among women.
HIV
'His discovery has led to characterization of the natural history of HPV infection, an understanding of mechanisms of HPV-induced carcinogenesis and the development of prophylactic vaccines against HPV acquisition,' the Assembly said.
Medicine is traditionally the first of the Nobel prizes awarded each year.
The prizes for achievement in science, literature and peace were first awarded in 1901 in accordance with the will of dynamite inventor and businessman Alfred Nobel.
The economics prize is a later addition, established by the Swedish Riksbank in 1968.
The Nobel laureate for physics will be announced tomorrow, followed by the chemistry Nobel on Wednesday, literature on Thursday and the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in Oslo.

Besides, with the advancements in technology and science progressing so quickly. I don't think 4 years is all that far-fetched. It may not happen in 4 years but it is certainly make leaps that are life changing.

Prevent the disease from flourishing. Meaning, after you get it, you'll still be infected with AIDS and have the potential to infect other people. Preventing it from flourishing will just extend your amount of time left to live, depending on how early on you find out you have it and start treatment.  | |

How is this ground-breaking. Magic Johnson is already using therapeutic drug treatments. I'm surprised he's survived this long.

AIDS is already a curable disease with today's medication. The only problem is that in order to completely cure the disease & eliminate the virus, u'll have to be on medication for a longer than your lifespan.

Actually the Gates Foundation also got a big endowment from Warren Buffett. So, be sure to insure you car using Geico as well.
The more interesting battles going on as we speak are the drives to eliminate Polio and Guinea Worm. Very interesting, and we are soooo close!  | |
