Abstract

We would like to comment on the controversy concerning the use of a virulent strain of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to assess the protective efficacy of candidate HIV vaccines (A. M. Prince and L. Andrus, Letters, Science's Compass, 18 Dec., p. 2195; N. L. Letvin, ibid.). We believe that this must be viewed from both scientific and ethical perspectives.
