Article: Controversial AIDS vaccines are 'plausible'| New Scientist
Injecting HIV
To test the preventive vaccine, he [Abalaka] says he inoculated himself before injecting himself with HIV-positive blood on six separate occasions. He says he did not contract the virus. He then tested the vaccine on about 300 HIV-negative people and says none have yet developed the infection, as far as he knows.
His work has caused huge controversy in Nigeria, causing wrangles between Abalaka and the Nigerian ministry of health. But now Abalaka has published a report in the journal Vaccine.
“I have successfully developed safe, preventive and curative vaccines against HIV,” Abalaka told New Scientist. “I would like to see the world looking into my work to confirm or refute it.”
