A world first: Vaccine helps prevent HIV infection

A world first: Vaccine helps prevent HIV infection "The vaccine - a combination of two previously unsuccessful vaccines - cut the risk of becoming infected with HIV by more than 31 percent in the world's largest AIDS vaccine trial of more than 16,000 volunteers in Thailand, researchers announced Thursday in Bangkok. Even though the benefit is modest, 'it's the first evidence that we could have a safe and effective preventive vaccine,' Col. Jerome Kim told The Associated Press."
