In South Africa, seven million people (one in every five) live with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)—the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Research in that country is proceeding on the development of an HIV vaccine that some believe may provide relief for those suffering from this disease.1
In the first large-scale study of an HIV vaccine since 2009, South Africa’s Medical Research Council, led by research professor Glenda Gray, seeks to enroll 5,400 sexually active young men and women in the new study, known as HVTN 702. The placebo-controlled protocol (meaning that half of the participants receive an inactive agent) is sponsored by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and will involve five injections given over the course of one year.
If the new study achieves a response rate of even 50 to 60 percent effectiveness, pharmaceutical companies Sanofi Pasteur of France and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) of the United Kingdom are preparing to begin licensing negotiations.1
The new study is based on a reconfiguring of the vaccine used in a much smaller study conducted in Thailand in 2009. That study only had a reported 30 percent success rate, and even that was found to wear off over time. While those might seem like long odds for success, the stigma associated with AIDS appears to be a major driving force in people’s willingness to participate in the study.1
According to 20-year-old Awethu Benenengu, he wants to be involved in the study because he does not like the way his HIV-positive cousin is treated and he wants to be part of the effort to defeat AIDS. “There is so much stigma,” says Mr. Benenengu. “I want to be part of a generation that changes this and I want my children to be proud one day of their father for getting involved in making history.”1
The United Nations estimates the death toll from AIDS at more than 30 million people since it was recognized in the 1980s. Currently, better antiretroviral drugs have greatly improved life expectancy for AIDS patients, but the only truly protective means of preventing HIV transmission remain abstinence or the use of barrier methods such as condoms during sexual activity.1
The NIH promises that “study participants who become infected with HIV during the trial will be referred to local medical providers for care and treatment” and “will be advised on how to reduce their risk of transmitting the virus.”1

You say “the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)—the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).”
PLEASE CHECK THIS CLAIM
I am convinced this is NOT TRUE
Since the late 1890’s Koch’s Postulates have been accepted universally to determine the causative micro-organism in disease. They are:
1.The microorganism must be found in abundance in all organisms suffering from the disease, but should not be found in healthy organisms.
2.The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased organism and grown in pure culture.
3.The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism.
4.The microorganism must be reisolated from the inoculated, diseased experimental host and identified as being identical to the original specific causative agent.
To date, no one has found the so-called HIV virus in blood samples of those labeled with AIDS. This has been reported several times in studies. The following books should help dispel the notion that HIV causes AIDS and that this unfortunate “association” drives the entire AIDS culture and drug company’s search for a “cure”.
1) “The Great AIDS Hoax” by T. C. Fry
2) “AIDS and Syphilis: The Hidden Element” by Harris Coulter (The same author of “Divided Legacy: The Conflict Between Homeopathy and the AMA”)
3) “AIDS: What the Discoveries of HIV Have Never Admitted” by Lawrence Broxmeyer, MD
4) “AIDS: The Mystery and Solution” by Alan Cantwell, MD
5) “Why We will Never Win the War on AIDS” by Bryan Ellison & Peter Duesberg This book was declared “illegal” in a federal court in the Southern District of NY many years ago – Why?
6) “Inventing the AIDS Virus” by Peter Duesberg
7) “Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola; Nature, Accident or Intentional” by Len Horowitz
8) “The Strecker Memorandum” by Robert Strecker MD
AIDS, whether the virus is a factor or not, is man-made, created by the Army in Fredricksberg, MD and approved by Congress in the 1960’s.

Any attempt at a vaccine is pure BS and experimental since it is man-made. Educate yourself people. No one can believe the government, any of its agencies, or anything coming out of the medical organizations.
Yes, the biggest medical hoax of the 20th century. RNA viruses are harmless. And Gallo and Montagnier knew it. In Africa no HIv test required to claim AIDS. A criminal cabal = CDC/big pharma. Watch “House of Numbers” on YouTube. Maybe by now full documentary is available.
Thank you Mark and Dominique.
Now investigate polio….in detail. Kochs postulates violated as well.
