AIDS breakthroughs slower; Drug cocktails have made long-term survival possible, but a vaccine could be
decades away.
A quarter-century after the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, the rapid pace of scientific discovery has slowed to a crawl.
The early years of the epidemic were a sprint, as researchers isolated the virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome, developed rapid tests for the virus and found drugs that could block its replication -- culminating 10 years ago with the arrival of drug cocktails that made long-term survival possible.
But optimism about developing an AIDS vaccine evaporated as scientists began to untangle the mysteries of a virus far more intractable than any they had encountered.
"This is not because of a lack of effort or because of a lack of money. It's just a fundamental problem posed by HIV," said Dr. David Ho of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center in New York.
Dr. Andrew Saxon of the University of California-Los Angeles, one of those who first reported the disease 25 years ago, on June 5, 1981, added:
"I don't think anyone appreciated how clever and difficult this virus could be ... I thought we would have had a vaccine by now and we would be entering the age of forgetfulness" about AIDS, just as the world has with smallpox and polio.
International agencies have been making strides in bringing drug therapy to poor areas and developing new tools for prevention, but when it comes to fundamental research, "frankly, there isn't much new," said Dr. Jay Levy of the University of California-San Francisco, who has been studying the disease since it was identified.
Federal funding for HIV/AIDS research and therapy is up from $200 million in 1985 to $21.7 billion in 2006.
The epidemic has changed the world, making sex an activity to be feared, ruining the economies of countries in sub-Saharan Africa, leaving millions of children parentless -- and often infected themselves.
It is draining billions of dollars that could have helped alleviate other afflictions.
