Abstract
The Thesis position urges that “In the face of so much growing personal tragedy associated with HIV infection, and in the face of such a rapidly expanding global pandemic, waiting any longer to initiate phase I and II trials for HIV vaccines would simply be wrong.” In order to have any notion of the full force of this claim, we will need to have some elementary understanding of the present scope and predicted future course of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
