PHASE I TRIAL OF AN AIDS VACCINE FOR INDIA\nThis is a Phase-I trial of a newly developed experimental AIDS vaccine \n\n\nObjective of the trial: To evaluate the safety of the vaccine and its ability to generate immune response in HIV-uninfected, healthy volunteers. \nThis international multi-centric trial is being conducted by the National AIDS Research Institute, Pune, under the joint auspices of the National AIDS Control Organization (Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India), the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and sponsored by the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI). \n\nTHE TRIAL VACCINE\nThe vaccine being tested is called tgAAC09. \nThe vaccine does not contain HIV virus. Therefore the volunteers cannot get infected with HIV from this vaccine. This is a preventive vaccine intended for people who are not infected with HIV and not for persons living with HIV. It is not a drug for AIDS.\nThis particular vaccine has been tested in animals prior to this trial. Data from animal and pre-clinical studies indicate that the vaccine was safe and was well tolerated, allowing testing in human beings. \nThis Phase-I trial is currently ongoing in two European countries, Belgium and Germany where fifty volunteers have already received this vaccine in whom it was found to be safe.\nThis vaccine will be tested for the first time in human beings in India at NARI in Pune. Three groups of volunteers will receive three different doses of vaccine (low, medium and high) and the volunteer may be in any one of these groups. The vaccine will be given intramuscularly in the upper arm. \n\nWho can participate in this trial?\n30 volunteers will participate in this clinical trial. Volunteers must fulfill the following criteria to be able to participate in the trial: \nMen or women between 18 and 50 years of age \nHealthy, HIV-uninfected and at low risk for HIV infection \nPeople living in and around Pune and available for all visits scheduled during the study \nLiterate, who can give written informed consent \nWilling to avoid pregnancy from screening until four months after the vaccination \nWho cannot participate?\nPersons with the following conditions will not be able to participate in the trial \nHIV- infected or practicing high risk behaviour for HIV infection \nPregnant or lactating women \nPresence of chronic disease, mental disorders and physical disability \nRecently received vaccine, blood or blood products \nHistory of allergic reactions to vaccination \nHow will this trial be conducted?\nThe 30 volunteers will be assigned to one of three dosage groups (low, medium or high dosage). Each group will include 10 volunteers, of which 8 will receive the vaccine and 2 will receive the placebo. Placebo is a substance that looks similar to the experimental vaccine but has no active ingredient. Participants will have to agree to vaccine either the vaccine or the placebo.\nNeither the volunteer nor the researchers will know who has received the placebo or the vaccine until the end of the trial. This is called double blinding. \n\nStudy procedures \nScreening, Enrollment & Follow up visits \n\nScreening: \nSigning informed consent for screening, tests and evaluation. \nMedical history & physical examination \nBlood tests including HIV test, Urine examination \nEnrollment: \nInformed consent for enrollment \nA test to assess the adequacy of comprehension (Multiple choice test) \nVaccination: Single injection of the trial vaccine in the arm. \n\nFollow-up: \nFollow up for 12 months \n10 visits to clinic as per schedule and 2 additional contacts by phone or home visit \nHIV test at 3 of these visits \nBlood will be collected at 6 of these visits \nPossible risks and discomforts \n\nAs after any injection, participants may experience some mild or moderate reaction at the injection site (redness, swelling, pain and tenderness, and in very rare cases, the formation of a scab and skin discoloration), reactions that will on

even worse, it was fabricated completely- read "Inventing the AIDS virus" by Peter H. Duesberg- AIDS only exists as a profit center for unscrupulous drug manufacturers and medical practitioners.

The biggest reason why a cure or vaccination are very far off are because HIV is a virus. There are no cures for the simple cold or flu virus, because viruses are very clever in that they constantly mutate and change so it is very difficult to come up with what Paul Elhrich would term "magic bullets" -ie a drug that would effectively deal with the virus, and not damage any other of the body's organisms. So basically if a thing keeps changing it is very difficlut to come up with something that will deal with it in its current state and any other future developments.

This is a pet topic of mine...\n\nThe origin of AIDS and HIV has puzzled scientists ever since the illness first came to light in the early 1980s. For over twenty years it has been the subject of fierce debate and the cause of countless arguments, with everything from a promiscuous flight attendant to a suspect vaccine program being blamed. So what it the truth? Just where did AIDS come from?\n\nThe first 'officially recognized' cases of "AIDS" occurred in the USA in the early 1980s (the real origin was later recognized to be Africa and a lot earlier than 1980). A number of gay men in New York and San Francisco suddenly began to develop rare opportunistic infections and cancers that seemed stubbornly resistant to any treatment. At this time, AIDS did not yet have a name, but it quickly became obvious that all the men were suffering from a common syndrome. The discovery of HIV, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus that causes AIDS was made soon after. While some were initially resistant to the connection (and indeed remain so today), there is now clear evidence to prove that HIV does cause AIDS. So, in order to find the source of AIDS, it is necessary to look for the origin of HIV, and find out How, When and Where HIV first began to cause disease in humans.\n\nOne theory of the origin of AIDS is that it developed in the Belgian Congo from contaminated vaccines used in the world's first mass immunization for polio. There are a number of reasons why this theory is plausible enough to be worthy of further investigation.\n\n1. The location coincides dramatically. The earliest known cases of AIDS occurred in central Africa, in the same regions where Koprowski's polio vaccine was given to over a million people in 1957-1960.\n\n2. The timing coincides. There is no documented case of HIV infection or AIDS before 1959. Centuries of the slave trade and European exploitation of Africa exposed Africans and others to all other diseases then known; it is implausible that HIV could have been present and spreading in Africa without being recognized.\n\n3. Polio vaccines are grown (cultured) on monkey kidneys which could have been contaminated by SIVs. Polio vaccines could not be screened for SIV contamination before 1985.\n\n4. Another monkey virus, SV-40, is known to have been passed to humans through polio vaccines. A specific pool of Koprowski's vaccine was later shown to have been contaminated by an unknown virus.\n\n5. In order for a virus to infect a different species, it is helpful to reduce the resistance of the new host's immune system. Koprowski's polio vaccine was given to many children less than one month old, before their immune systems were fully developed. Indeed, in one trial, infants were given 15 times the standard dose in order to ensure effective immunization.\n\nIf this theory is correct, it has serious ethical, health and policy implications. In particular, it points to the danger of interspecies transfer of material through vaccinations, organ transplants, etc., which could lead to new variants of AIDS as well as other new diseases. As well, studying the theory may lead to insights about responding to AIDS and preventing new diseases.\n\nHowever, there has been no sustained attempt to test the theory. This could be done, for example, by testing stocks of polio vaccine for the presence of SIV. An offer to undertake tests was made as early as 1991; only in 2000 were some samples tested, and then only US-made vaccine. Another possibility would be to test stored blood samples in Africa from before 1950. If HIV is found, this would undermine the theory.\n\nAlthough the theory has not been properly examined, many people seem to believe it has been refuted. Hilary Koprowski published a letter in Science in 1992 attacking the theory. In 1993, Rolling Stone, which had published a widely publicized article by Tom Curtis about the theory, published an "update", interpreted by Science as a

I would like to hope that medical professionals would release info to the public that would help people. However, I would venture to say it could be a possibility that there is information that could help people with AIDS but medical professionals won't release it. \n Medical professionals have been reluctant to study herbal therapies. Perhaps because there would not be much profit if they were proven to work against diseases or perhaps just having a lackadaisical approach to finding other ways to combat ailments is the reason why they have been reluctant to study alternate therapies.\n Is it possible to reduce viral load with alcohol? Ask any medical professional if a small quantity of alcohol would work in reducing viral load. I say it can.\n Is it possible to use peppermint oil lozenges to slow the immune response so that the killer cells can destroy virus before the virus destroys helper cells? I say it can.\n You are very wise to ask the last question. Is it possible to reduce viral load along with a consistent slowing down of the immune response (without hindering the power of the immune system) and then use a vaccine ( even a non-specific one ) to help rebuild the immune system? Ask the top AIDS researchers if it can work. I say it can work. I believe it could be possible for the bloodstream to have an immunity to the virus although some virus may still be hiding within the body. In essence this could be a cure for AIDS.\n This treatment could be a cheap and effective way to help people .

I heard that on the radio today.  As I recall, a team of researchers in Gabon found this particualar strain of HIV in chimp droppings out in the bush.  Imagine going to West Africa to study chimp droppings.

The only 'cure' for HIV / AIDS is to NOT get it. Meds help greatly to extend life, but HIV is a death sentence down the road...on the other hand, we are all going to die some day. If you want to help, there are many local, state, and national organizations to volunteer to. Good luck and it is nice to see a caring person here.

Not at his website there aint.But studies have been done in Asia on faith healing and there is documented evidence that many Taoist faith healers have produce remarkable results.

Actually, I've heard the virus was inteentionally released in the first place and there has always been a cure.\n\nCould be just another wild conspiracy theory of course, but who knows?

There are currently drugs available that enabled a HIV positive person to live a normal life span. The treatment is not cheap, but for someone living in the US, HIV is not a death sentence anymore. \n\nThere are also studies underway that indicate that certain combination of those drugs prevent the user from getting HIV, similar to Malaria prevention drugs. Those studies look very positive, but a prevention is not a cure. \n\nTo completely eradicate the HIV disease, a vaccine would be required and that still seems to be some time in the future.

not valid at all. there are tens of thousands of studies that reinforce the idea that HIV is the cause of AIDS. the virusmyth people are only serving to weaken HIV prevention efforts by destroying the public trust in health providers (public, private and otherwise).\n\nthe National Institutes of Health have a factsheet to repsond to the HIV denialists (who rank down there with Holocaust deniers in terms of credibility).\n\nhttp://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/evidhiv.htm Read it and think it over.

Here is the answer to your question. as of today there is "NO" Scientific Proof Documentations of a virus called "HIV" in the United States. It has never been isolated.
