Possible HIV Vaccine

[.little monster]

31% lower chance of getting it? but there's still a 69% chance of getting it and I don't like the odds of not getting it because of 69%

Even though the chance of contracting AIDs from unprotected sex isn't 100%, it's pretty damn close so..yeah..

31% is and always will be, always was greater than 0%.
69% is and always will be, always was less than 100%.

I would rather have a 31% chance of not getting it that a 0%. You would still have to have save sex; but, what if someone is raped and they didn't have safe sex (which would probably result in the rapist being caught?) Then, that rapist had aids. The person who was raped could have gotten the vaccine, and it could have worked. o:

If one case is prevented, it's a success.

I wish this was possible, it would cut the chance of getting HIV, in half. But it says in the article it's impossible, maybe one day scientists will finally be able to make an HIV vaccine. Since the Swine Flu vaccine was successful. So, there still hope.

Ok, so maybe the vaccine isn't 100% bulletproof. Medicine is rarely ever 100% effective. I would like to see the number move up from 31% however, but I won't complain. A 31% success rate is better than 0% and it shows that research is getting so much closer to prevention, and possibly even a viable CURE.
