GOVERNMENT-funded researchers will soon give the highly toxic drug AZT to pregnant women and newborn babies in an effort to stop the development of AIDS. Specialists in treating AIDS said the possible risks of AZT toxicity are more than offset by the dire likelihood that children born infected with HIV, the AIDS virus,

AMONG THE TOP AIDS-ologists, opinions vary on what constitutes state-of-the-art treatment of HIV infection and AIDS. Most base their treatment decisions on T-cell counts, the levels of the immune system s disease-fighting T4 cells versus the suppressive T-8 cells. When T-4 cell counts drop precipitously physicians are

AIDS RESEARCH: Focusing on Immune Cells--So far, no research team has been able to find a vaccine that can trigger the responses necessary to fend off HIV infection, and scientists are becoming increasingly concerned that HIV may prove impossible to tackle by traditional vaccination approaches

ALTHOUGH AT LEAST 18 potential AIDS vaccines are under development right now, scientists say it s unlikely a vaccine will be available anytime in the next decade. It s very difficult to get a vaccine, HIV co-discoverer Luc Montagnier of France s Pasteur Institute said at a news conference at the recent Fifth Internatio
