An experimental vaccine, developed 40 years ago by scientists, has been tested positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (AIDS) and has managed to protect the monkeys from infection. A study published in the medical journal Lancet.

Vaccine trials are moved to the next phase of experimental procedures before approval, after the drug has been revealed safe for humans. It will test 2,600 women in southern Africa to see if it will succeed to prevent AIDS.

In the study and experts from abroad warn that despite the encouraging results so far, there is no guarantee for the success of the property in the next phase experimental called "HTTN705" (HTNV705) or "Imbukudu", meaning the rock in Zulu.

"While the data is encouraging, we must continue to be vigilant."

"This is not because the vaccine has managed to protect two-thirds of the monkeys in a laboratory experiment that it will not protect humans, so we have to wait for the results to be … study before knowing whether to protect humans against AIDS. "

The results of Imbukudu research are expected to be published in 2021 or 2022.

Tests have shown that the vaccine is safe, but five participants reported some side effects, such as stomach upset, diarrhea, dizziness or back pain.

AIDS patients currently rely on therapies to prevent the virus from staying healthy.
