Less hope for Aids vaccine

Aids experts launch 'CNN of virology'
Aids experts launch 'CNN of virology'

A new digital media service will foster the global collaboration of physicians and help them to share the latest advances in Aids and other virus research, its promoters say.

Cape Town - Scientists attending an international Aids conference in the country say the global economic turmoil is likely to take its toll on research funding and add to the problems plaguing the elusive search for a vaccine.

Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, says it is impossible to guarantee that a fully effective vaccine will ever be discovered. But he says scientists will never give up trying.

Fauci and the head of the Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise said on Tuesday they feared that funding for research may dwindle as philanthropic organisations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation feel the squeeze.
