For the first time in seven years there is a big test for a new vaccine against HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The test will be carried through in South Africa and aims to involve more than 5000 sexually active persons. With about seven million infected people, South Africa is one of the most affected countries. Up to now there is no vaccination nor a cure available, although significant improvements of the life expectancy of infected persons are achieved by anti-retroviral medication.
