HIV vaccine tests to be carried out on 2,600 South African women.

Prosper

Harvard team of researchers developed and successfully tested multi-strain HIV vaccine in humans. Those tested with the vaccine produced immune response against HIV virus. The researches also were successful testing the vaccine on rhesus monkeys.

This does not means that the vaccine is now effective as more human tests is still needed.

Next human tests will be carried out on 2,600 South African women claimed to be at high risk for being HIV positive.

My question is “must Africans be used as guinea pigs for scientific research”?
