9, highly encouraging results of the Phase 3 trial in Thailand for an HIV/AIDS vaccine candidate owned by Sanofi-Aventis and Global Solutions for Infectious Diseases were publicly announced.

As such, it was the first demonstration in humans that a vaccine can prevent HIV/AIDS infections. The results of the Thai trial emphasizes the importance of human clinical trials in testing HIV/AIDS vaccines and paves the way for more advanced testing of the GeoVax vaccines. "There could not have been a more important result for the advancement of the GeoVax vaccine," said Dr. Robinson, "It is a very favorable and exciting time for a vaccine with the characteristics of our vaccine to move forward."
