Bio-Bridge Science Dedicated to Developing a Vaccine to Fight HIV

Business Wire - December 1, 2006

OAK-BROOK,-Ill. -- According to a joint report issued by UNAIDS and WHO, an estimated 39.5 million people globally are living with HIV and an estimated 4.3 million individuals were newly infected during 2006. An overwhelming proportion of the people living with HIV are in Sub-Saharan Africa where the estimated number of people infected is 24.7 million. The number of people estimated to be living with HIV is 1.2 million in the U.S., 650,000 in China, and 17,000 in Japan. China's Ministry of Health expressed recently that the number of people officially reported as infected by HIV has risen 27.5 percent since the beginning of 2006 according to Xinhua. To curb the global spread of HIV, experts believe that a vaccine is needed to fight HIV infection.

Bio-Bridge Science, Inc. (OTCBB: BGES) is in development of a promising new HIV Vaccine that is expected to enter clinical trials in 2007 in China. The vaccine targets infection in mucosal tissues, which is a unique approach to prevent and treat HIV infection. The pre-clinical trials have been done in China and suggest that the vaccine is safe and effective in the treatment and prevention of HIV. Bio-Bridge is dedicated to developing this HIV therapeutic and preventive vaccine to fight HIV/AIDS.
