The battle against the scourge of HIV/AIDS may soon come to an end following the discovery of a possible vaccine that could imbue one with lifelong immunity to the disease.
A Texas-based institute has applied for a patent to begin the production of the vaccine genetically engineered to provide immunity for life to potential HIV/AIDS sufferers. The vaccine – its name is still shielded from the public – is also said to have the potency to provide relief for other infections.
It reportedly functions by preventing the replication of viruses when they enter the human body.
Since the potency of the HIV/AIDS virus is rooted on its ability to reproduce rapidly and spread within the body, thus eventually overwhelming the body’s natural resistance to infections, the full release of this vaccine into the open market could become the first real advancement in the war to eliminate the killer virus and save millions of lives.

This may actually seem like a God-sent, but it needs to be said that the drug has no benefits for those who've already developed full-blown AIDS, and it may take a lengthy process of cautious observation before it can be wholly available and accepted as THE vaccine for HIV/AIDS.
Knowing Nigerians, It must also be stated that this possible news is and should not be a license for indiscriminate sex spree. Everyone hold your horses, watch, and wait.
And while you're waiting, grab that condom.
