Os NUMEROS do HIV

40 milhoes de pessoas infectadas no final de 2006

4.3 milhoes de pessoas infectadas durante o ano de 2006

0.5 milhoes de crianças infectadas durante o ano de 2006

25 milhoes de mortes pela doença desde 1981

E para aqueles que me estao sempre a perguntar "Entao e a vacina?", aqui fica uma resposta recente (7 de novembro):
"The new analyses revealed today from the STEP HIV vaccine clinical trial are both disappointing and puzzling. At this time, the data offer no clear explanations as to why the vaccine showed no measurable efficacy or why among individuals with background immunity to the adenovirus vector, there were more HIV infections in the vaccinees as compared to those in the placebo group."
E assim estamos neste mundo da investigaçao do HIV.
