For 30 years, UC Santa Cruz professor and vaccine developer Phil Berman has been chasing a moving target — the insidious, ever-changing HIV virus — and now, finally, he thinks he has it cornered.
Berman’s lab has developed an experimental vaccine he believes will guard against HIV and AIDS. The model is expected to go to clinical trial within three years.
When Berman was a Genentech scientist in the 1990s, he invented the world’s first vaccine to show any success against HIV. When it was tested with another vaccine in a 2003 to 2009 large-scale trial involving 16,000 people in Thailand, the vaccine combination proved a 31 percent success rate.
But that’s not high enough for regulatory approval, which requires a 60 percent rate, said Berman, and this new model, drawn from his previous work, will prove stronger.
Berman’s approach, like most other vaccines, is to create a decoy by mimicking a protein on the virus’s surface. When this protein is injected into the bloodstream, it spurs the patient’s immune system to create antibodies that recognize and kill it.

Good news for bath house Barry!
I developed a vaccine years ago.
Avoid buttsecs with homos.
No thamky.
Not a homo, not into casual sex.
See my tagline.
Sure, like all the other vaccines and cures.
They have been talking about an effective HIV vaccine for more than 25 years now.
TO LATE. Even with the best health care and drugs in the world, he is still losing weight and looks more and more like the walking dead.
Every bit of news like this only encourages their behavior.
I was at the doc the other day and picked up a homo magazine. It was very empowering to their poo-flinging lifestyle.
It actually said that you, as a homo, are not obligated to inform your partners of your AIDS/HIV statuss. I consider that a crime.
Frankly, I think they should be branded, in the name of public safety.
That’s the reason the libs were trying to infect the blood supply.
People like you and I don’t behave in a manner that contracts this disease,
and therefore, we “don’t care enough”.
Infecting the blood supply was to force people to care about it.
