"'We believe this is the first milestone that will lead us ultimately to be able to develop a globally effective vaccine for HIV,' said study author Dr. Nelson Michael, a colonel at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Rockville, Maryland.... Michael and his Thai research partners stressed it will be years before a vaccine is widely available.
