The joys of diversification: vaccines, condoms, and AIDS prevention

Article Abstract:

AIDS prevention researchers should pour more funds into the development of better condoms and other low-technology contraceptive methods that promote safer sexual practices instead of solely pursuing the development of an HIV vaccine. Although an HIV vaccine remains of critical importance, the condom has proven its worth against the spread of other sexually-transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy. Thus, more attention should be given to it especially since the prospect of a commercially available HIV vaccine appears light years away.
