Hi, Jerzy. I'm replying privately because I will only address
the question about vaccines. Please check out our homepage.

From there, read "More about HIV Vaccines" --especially the NIAID
information. [This will make sense when you get there....] We've been
researching HIV vaccines for 10 years now, and your idea is sound. We
incorporate proteins from the outer envelope of HIV, plus a few interior
proteins as well, with other "vectors" such as canarypox (a virus that is
harmless to humans, but can introduce the HIV proteins to the immune
system.)

Anyway, read away. Let me know if you have questions. Good luck in your
search. --EB
