SA announces HIV drugs partnership
SA announces HIV drugs partnership

The South African government has announced a joint venture to reduce the cost of anti-retroviral drugs with a Swiss company.

Abidjan - Nobel Medicine Prize winner Luc Montagnier on Monday dedicated his award to Aids sufferers and predicted results on a "therapeutic vaccine" for the pandemic within four years.

"I think my first reaction is to think of all the people sick with Aids and all those who are still alive and fighting against the illness," Montagnier told AFP.

He said a treatment could be possible in the future with a "therapeutic" rather than preventive vaccine for which results could be published in three or four years if the researcher can secure financial backing.

Montagnier and Frenchwoman Francoise Barre-Sinoussi, who shared the Nobel prize, discovered the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes Aids by destroying immune cells.
