AIDS vaccine ‘cures’ 5 patients and are ‘virus free’

AIDS vaccine ‘cures’ 5 patients – who have now been ‘virus-free’ 7 months WITHOUT the help of daily drugs

The treatment, developed by researchers in Spain, allowed the patients to stop taking regular antiretroviral (ARV) drugs – the current method of suppressing HIV.

Scientists have yet to test the results in a large-scale clinical trial, but they say the vaccine may be a ‘functional cure’.

It is the first step towards success in a field that has failed to find a vaccine in the last 30 years.
