AIDS Conference Comes To An End


(23 Jul 10 - RV) The 18th International AIDS Conference came to a close on Friday in Vienna, following a week of discussions on how to treat and combat the disease.

Among the scientific breakthroughs presented at the conference is a gel that has proved capable of blocking the transmission of the AIDS virus to women. In a study conducted in South Africa, the gel cut in half a woman's chances of getting HIV from an infected partner.
