Hi, I just read this article from Yahoo! news about AIDS and HIV vaccines.

This passage was particularly interesting:
One of the most shocking discoveries for pollsters was that several people believe an HIV vaccine already exists and is being kept a secret. Out of those polled, 47 percent of African Americans, 26 percent of Hispanics and 13 percent of MSM [men who have sex with men] said they believed in such a conspiracy theory.
What do you think?

Also, I never thought of the need to volunteer for a clinical trial to help find a vaccine. I always assumed you have to have the illness to help find a cure.

How would you feel if your significant other wanted to volunteer him/herself?

Discuss.
