People do not routinely become immune to H.I.V., the AIDS virus, after being infected. The virus destroys the immune system itself, killing the very cells that should repel it and that a vaccine should call to action. Since 1987, 30 experimental H.I.V. vaccines have been tested in people, and an effective one has yet to be found....And so it may seem remarkable that experts now dare to say they may finally be on a path to a vaccine that will offer at least some protection." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article examines the study of AIDS since it was first detected in 1981. Also included is information regarding federal AIDS funding and personal accounts of individuals living with AIDS.
