New testing method may slow HIV spread
by   |  December 7, 1995  |  

A group of University researchers have discovered a method that may slow the spread of the HIV virus.

After examining how HIV vaccine trials are currently tested, researchers have recommended they be redesigned to test for the vaccine's power to reduce contagiousness and stop the spread of the disease. Most of the studies were focused on the earliest stage of infection.

Earlier research Koopman conducted found people are 100 to 1,000 times more contagious in the first two months of the HIV infection.

Koopman said a vaccine that reduced infectiousness and contagiousness at the early stage would help "prevent or stop HIV epidemics."
