'Your papers, please' must never be heard in America
Federal authorities have shut down a clinical trial for an HIV vaccine after finding that test subjects were at risk for contracting the virus.
Taking daily doses of HIV-prevention pills or gels did not prevent transmission of the deadly virus, in large part because the African women involved in the study did not follow the recommended treatment regimen, researchers said Monday at a scientific conference in Atlanta.
Researchers have identified a mysterious new disease that has left scores of people in Asia and some in the United States with AIDS-like symptoms even though they are not infected with HIV.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged delegates to pursue a goal of "a generation that is free of AIDS," in rousing remarks before a major international conference on AIDS that formally opened in Washington Monday.

Treating HIV right away, before patients are too sick, dramatically lowers their chances of spreading the AIDS virus to a sexual partner, says a major international study that may convince more doctors to offer medication sooner.
In a bold new approach ultimately aimed at trying to cure AIDS, scientists used genetic engineering in six patients to develop blood cells that are resistant to HIV, the virus that causes the disease.
