Today is
World AIDS Day. And, hallelujah, a piece of good news:
a vaccine-like treatment is showing positive results in human trials. Note that this isn't a vaccine, it's a vaccine-like therapy. It can't be used for prevention, and it's unlikely to be more cost-effective than anti-retroviral medication. So, once again the populations most at risk are least likely to benefit. Still, one more arrow in the quiver...
Now, if only we could control human behavior. Look, if you are undergoing treatment for a life-threatening, incurable STD,
please stop fucking people. Thanks.
