There is great news for people around the world on the occasion of World AIDS Day. For the first time, scientists have claimed to have invented a 100% effective vaccine against HIV virus. A person taking 2 doses of this vaccine in a year can remain completely protected from HIV infection. Scientists found in a study conducted on women that a vaccine given twice a year is 100 percent effective in preventing HIV infection.

Drugmaker Gilead said it would allow cheaper, generic versions to be sold in 120 poor countries with high HIV rates - mostly in Africa, Southeast Asia and the Caribbean. But this does not include almost the entire Latin America, where the infection rate is very low but is increasing rapidly. Winnie Byanyima, Executive Director of UNAIDS (United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS), said, “This vaccine is significantly better than any other prevention method available to us. This is unprecedented.” He credited Gilead for developing the drug, but said the world's ability to stop AIDS depends on its use in at-risk countries.

This shows that the world is now at a "historic turning point" and there is a chance to end this epidemic.
