| Response from Dr. Wohl
 I think the main goal of these funds is to develop a preventive vaccine - that is, a vaccine that will protect an uninfected person from infection. This is part of an effort to halt the spread of HIV. Some of the lessons learned may also aid those already infected as vaccines can also be used to boost the immune system's response to HIV. Such adjunctive vaccines are being tested in HIV+ persons. DW | ||||||||
