I think, collectively, we should be paying more attention to what is going on around us in the world among people who dont have the advantages that we have.

The launch of phase 1 Ebola vaccine studies is a first step in developing a vaccine that could be licensed and used in the field to protect not only the front line health care workers but also those living in areas where Ebola virus exists.

An AIDS-free generation would mean that virtually no child is born with HIV; that, as those children grow up, their risk of becoming infected is far lower than it is today; and that those who become infected can access treatment to help prevent them from developing AIDS and from passing the virus on to others.

When you put someone on therapy, you lower the level of virus such that it makes it very difficult for them to infect others.

I run a modest-sized laboratory thats looking specifically at what we call the pathogenic mechanisms of HIV disease, or AIDS.

Science is telling us that we can do phenomenal things if we put our minds and our resources to it.

You dont have to vaccinate every man, woman and child in the country if you have a couple of cases of smallpox cropping up.
