Advanced AIDS prevention tools to be unveil
Quote:
Next week’s big expo in Boston will see researchers presenting results of two major trials conducted in the Southern part of Africa, both of which testing a vaginal ring that comes with antiretroviral medication. This ring was inserted monthly in the above mentioned trials, and can potentially simplify the process of women protecting themselves from HIV, all without requiring their partners to cooperate through condom use.
“The more we learn, the more optimistic researchers are about the feasibility of developing a safe and effective HIV vaccine,” wrote Mayer, who teased the announcement of new bioengineered antibodies that saw some encouraging results when tested on animals. One of the antibodies, which is known as VRC01, will be analyzed in two trials kicking off next month, where over 4,000 high-risk men and women in several parts of the world will be recruited for the studies.
