An AIDS virus vaccine will likely be available within 10 years, a government expert on the disease said. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of AIDS research at the National Institutes of Health, said in an interview on ABC-TV’s “This Week With David Brinkley” that “over the next several years, you’ll see a real acceleration of vaccine development, and, hopefully, by the end of the 1990s, there will be a vaccine that is available for widespread use.” Dr. Luc Montagnier of France’s Pasteur Institute also appeared on the Brinkley program. He said it will take at least four more years to develop an effective vaccine.
