International AIDS Vaccine Initiative Statement for World AIDS Vaccine Day

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In the 27 years since HIV was discovered, scientists have learned a great deal about the virus and how it causes AIDS. Making a vaccine to stop it, however, has proved a greater challenge than anyone could have imagined. Plain good news in this field has been a rarity. So it is with special pleasure that we note on this World AIDS Vaccine Day, May 18, that there has been a sizeable dose of it in the past year.
