Out of the hundreds of mysteries surrounding and surmounting us, AIDS is certainly one among the top 5 if not the first.AIDS was identified in the 1980s and since then it has killed roughly around 25 million people. The amount of people who are getting infected by this deadly virus is increasing day by day. Last September, Dr. Nelson Michael, a colonel at the Walter Reed Army Research institute in Maryland, surprised the world with an experimental vaccine, which can cut the infection of the disease by 31 percent over 3 years.
This gave a new hope to researchers who can build on it and find out a permanent cure for this killer virus. But the effects of this new vaccine have started to ebb and this has struck another nail in researcher's coffin. When speaking about this in conference, Dr. Nelson Michael has said that the 16,000 Thailand volunteers who tested the vaccine were not at the high risk of infection. But the researchers have kept their hopes alive as this has resulted in yet another dimension in this field of research.
As they say, every problem born with a solution. Some solutions can be arrived quicker, but some will take longer than usual. But certainly, the solution is there!! That has evaded from us for the past 3 decades, but not anymore. We are on our way to attain that. Hats off to researchers for giving out everything to achieve that coveted secret!!
