The grants are the largest private investment in making such a vaccine, the foundation said. They represent a significant shift in emphasis, to large-scale collaborative projects instead of small teams of researchers working independently.

      HIV patients get first once-a-day pill

      Posted by Jeff from MSNBC

      Shouldn't the Bush administration promote condom usage given how expensive the treatment for HIV is? The wholesale price of the new pill will be $1,150 for a 30-day supply, or the same as for Truvada and Sustiva when purchased separately.

    Pope May Okay Condoms in Fight Against AIDs

    Many die from AIDS  each day and the church could help by teaching correct moral practices.  The pope fails to act and claims to be a  leader who speaks to God on our behave.  He and the church members who support him will have a lot to answer for when they arrive on judgment day.
