For HIV. But with all respect, this is something like the 567th official 'cure for AIDS', at this point.

Are you asking what peer review means?
To: LunaticSVT
The vaccine, called the HIV-1 DNA, immunised mice and monkeys from sub-type C the type of HIV, which accounts for more than 95 per cent of infections in IndiaBut only an insignificant amount of cases here in America (where HIV-1B is prevalent). Whether or not this is true, unless they can also make a vaccine for 1B, it will not have a major effect on the American fight against AIDS.
And if it's too expensive, it won't have much effect in fighting AIDS in India, either. Still, it would be remarkable progress to have even a single vaccine like that as a starting point for better vaccines.

Typical subcontinent blather.

A peer review is when disinterested professionals take a look at the research and try to debunk it or validate it. Any type of professional researcher, from a medical researcher to a chemist to an historian will have their work peer reviewed if it is at all important.

Well, I hope a peer review confirms his results.
Not at all envious that it came from India either - the worlds largest democracy, and hopefully the next nation to shoulder the burden of civilization when America finally loses her edge. Much in the same way we inherited that responsibility from Britania.

In December last year, Dr Pradeep Seth gave himself what could turn out to be the most important injection of his life. He had earlier tried out the injection a vaccine for HIV on mice and monkeys.
The vaccine had worked on the animals. And Seth found that he was fine he had suffered no side-effects.
And then after that Dr. Seth set out to have as much unprotected sex in as many possible ways with as many HIV-positive individuals of either sex as he could possibly find. "I have HPV, SIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, crab lice, chlamydia, tinea cruris, weals, lesions, shankers, cankers, urethritis, lymphogranuloma venereum, thrush, granuloma inguinale, cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B, and cryptosporidium, but not HIV!!!"

There's already a vaccine for AIDS - Vitamin E.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
Huh? Vitamin E! How come it is not being shouted forth from the mountain tops?
