Experimental HIV Vaccine Deemed ‘Ineffective’ in Stopping Virus

Breitbart:

A clinical trial for an HIV vaccine came to an end recently after researchers found it did not prevent the virus.

“This action was taken because an independent data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) found during an interim review that the regimen did not prevent HIV,” according to a press release by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

The release continued:

The Phase 2b/3 study, named HVTN 702 or Uhambo, began in 2016 and is taking place in South Africa. It was testing an investigational prime-boost vaccine regimen based on the only vaccine regimen ever to show protection from HIV—the regimen tested in the RV144 clinical trial in Thailand led by the U.S. Military HIV Research Program and the Thai Ministry of Health. For HVTN 702, the vaccine regimen was adapted to the HIV subtype Clade C most common in southern Africa, where the pandemic is most pervasive.

However, even though the clinical trial did not yield the desired results, Dr. Glenda Gray of the South African Medical Research Council, said the search for a cure would not come to a halt. read more

  1. Sexual Ecology: And the Destiny of Gay Men

    Written by a gay man, says their behavior creates super bugs resistant to whatever medication they are on.

    Says, even subtracting AIDS, gay men are doomed to a life of health disasters.

    Says gay males interest in SAFER sex is 0%. They can’t be truly gay if they are wrapped in rubber and don’t engage in anal sex.

    BTW, J-STOR has a few articles stating, the Athenian Greeks didn’t have penetrative anal sex with their boy servants. They just rubbed between their upper thais. They thought the anus was too dirty for that, and they were right.
