Bangkok's Impact conference centre swarmed with 19, 843 dele-
gates to the annual global meeting on AIDS this week, but Hall
3, where the scientific posters were displayed, was eerily
quiet. Science has taken a backseat to politics at the 15th In-
ternational AIDS Conference, which closed on Friday with no ma-
jor research breakthroughs reported and a vaccine, the holy
grail in the war on the incurable virus, still years away. (In-
dependent Online, South Africa. 7/16/04)
