Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Herpes / June 2004Vaccine research in the news
Here's a news article about recruiting subjects for a vaccine study. http://www.suntimes.com/output/health/cst-nws-herpes21.html M2 Woot! Soon, instead of having "the talk" you'll just say "swallow this pill... nevermind what it is... it's a... um... Vitamin... yea!" Where did you read about this? Angela :) www.yoshi2me.com > Woot! Soon, instead of having "the talk" you'll just say "swallow this > pill... nevermind what it is... it's a... um... Vitamin... yea!" Hi Yosh .... He posted under my message that pointed to a Chicago Times article. The article is gone now but if I recall correctly, it was the one about the trouble they're having finding suitable test subjects for the vaccine trials. If I recall, the article said they tested something like 6500 women volunteers who thought they were hsv negative but only a very few of them turned out to be actually negative (something over 90% were positive and didn't know it). I can't remember the exact numbers. That was the main point of the article and the reason I posted the link. The rest of the article was just info about the vaccine so far (the one that works ONLY for women who are hsv negative to begin with) and also said they weren't giving up on finding test subjects but it might take a little longer than they'd hoped. I think Pain was just being facetious with his comment. I dunno. M2 >Where did you read about this? >Angela :) "Pain Devine" wrote: >> Woot!

The people testing this vaccine were in this forum requesting people for interviews a few weeks ago. They were paying $85 but you had to show up in person. At least I'm assuming it was the same people... it was in the same part of Chicago that they were doing the testing. > Thanks M2 - > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > I think Pain was just being facetious with his comment.
