...volunteers who were enrolled in the study were included in the data, then the results would suggest a 31% effectiveness rate, with 51 in the vaccine arm and 74 in the control group becoming infected with HIV. These are the results that were announced in September. But because this particular vaccine comprised two older vaccines that were given in six doses over a six-month period - in what is referred to as a prime and boost regimen, in which the early shots prime the immune system to fend off HIV and the follow-up shots boost the body's immunity...
