    Surely an effective HIV vaccine will just cause the human population to explode in sub saharan africa?
    If you were a superhero you'd be The Incredible Fucktard with your ever-ready sidekick Douchetard Boy. Together, you fight intelligence and common sense where you go.

    Hello? Oh, hello! I'm sorry it's a very bad line. No, no no... but that's not possible, she was sealed in to the Seventh Obelisk after the prayer meeting. Well, no, I get that it's important... an Egyptian Goddess loose on the Orient Express. In Space. Give us a mo....

    ... don't worry about a thing, your Majesty; we're on our way.

    how does human testing for such a fatal disease vaccination work...?

    "oh hey... we'll split you into two groups. one group gets this vaccination, the other a placebo. then you'll shag this hiv positive hooker and we'll see what happens"

    Oh please Dr Monkeysphere, tell us more about how you know better than a human trial on a vaccine that hasn't taken place yet. Or how results of previous vaccines have anything at all to do with ones that follow it.

    What? It'll most likely take tens and tens of human trials to finally get an efficient vaccine due to the molecular variances of HIV-1 - unless some amazing novel technology is successfully put to use.

    Generally it will be given to a large group of people who have a HIV+ partner, then they are told to go about their business. After a few years statistics says that a certain % will have caught the AIDS from their partner, so you just test and see if there is a difference between the predicted amount of AIDS transferance and the measured amount.
