Vol. 2, No. 1, 18 January 2002 Other Issues: AIDScience Report: Microbicides to prevent heterosexual transmission of HIV: Ten years down the road By Janneke van de Wijgert and Christiana Coggins  [Full text article]  [About AIDScience articles]  [See recent AIDScience articles] Hot News: Good news and not so good ones for AIDS vaccines. In research reported in Nature, scientists at Merck found that animals immunized with an adenoviral vector survived a usually lethal challenge with SHIV. The vaccine did not prevent infection but reportedly reduced the virus almost 1000-fold in vaccinated animals. But in a similar study by scientists at Harvard Medical School, a mutant and lethal form of the virus was reported to develop in monkeys vaccinated and protected a year ago, killing one of the animals.
