Well, they say that it just prevent some 30% infections.
Certainly is far from being the end of the road, but it's a ste toward the goal.
Now, I read this:

"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."

Volunteers for what? to be infect with HIV? Was this perfectly healthy people that infect themselves with HIV? Or were this people that had the virus already without the symptoms?
HAHAHA! my answer turned out to be a question :D

That's good to hear. At least now HIV will be can be stopped somehow. I just wish it's priced cheap so that even poor countries can afford it. I hope too that with their successful research on finding a way to prevent HIV, they'll soon find a cure for it too for those who are already infected.
