The European Union is funding the development of an HIV/AIDS vaccine that would be delivered on the tail of a shot against measles.

The European-wide collaboration brings together GlaxoSmithKline - the EU's largest drug maker - and France's acclaimed Pasteur Institute.

Four research centers will be set up in France, Belgium and Britain.

The project involves using the ancient scourge of measles to combat the new one, AIDS.

...but last I heard, HIV still mutates faster than Nero's policy on Iraq. Right now, the disease is simply smarter than the researchers are.

they don't produce drugs or vaccines, the u.s. of a. does -- so this report must be a mistake.
