Bad news about an AIDS vaccine

Bad news about an AIDS vaccine 08/27/2004 01:40 PM

A magazine article about American Indians has some rather disturbing information for folks who hope for a resolution to the AIDS epidemic via a vaccine.  Starting with the arrival of the Spanish in the late 15th century the American Indians began a steep decline in numbers due to their lack of resistance to European diseases, notably smallpox.  A vaccine for smallpox was developed in 1796 by Edward Jenner in England.  Five years later, in 1801, President Jefferson ordered the nationwide immunization of American Indians.  Yet as late as 1836-40 there was a terrible smallpox epidemic among Indians along the Missouri River, apparently sparked off by an infected riverboat passenger.

The U.S. in the early 19th century probably had better roads and communication than many African countries do in the 21st century.  So even if we had a working vaccine against all the different strains of HIV (and any future strains that might evolve) it seems that the eradication of AIDS could take many decades.
