The study is "a hopeful milestone in our efforts to ameliorate the tragedy of HIV-infected children who now face the certainty they will develop AIDS,” said Health Secretary Donna E. Shnlala in a statement. Researchers will use the tests to determine if the vaccines slow the progress of the disease by trig gering immunological responses to the HIV virus in children who are not yet sick Researchers will then conduct further tests if the vaccines prove to be safe, said Anthony Fauci, head of Nil Is Office of AIDS Research. Some 10,000 children in this country are infect ed with the HIV vims, bom mostly to women who txxame infected by intravenous drug use or sexu al contact, according to government estimates. At least half the participants will !*> children 2 years old or younger, to enable researchers to com pare their reactions to the vaccine with those of older patients, officials said The symptoms of AIDS show up more quickly in children infected with the HIV virus than in adults Alxmt half the infants born with the IfIV virus develop a serious AIDS-related infection between the ages of 3 and fi Tliis is the first time we have tried HIV vaccines on children Laurie K. Doepel, National Institute of Health Atmut 10 vaccines have been tested on adults. Preliminary results of these trials show that some of the vaccines increased the body's immunological response to HIV. Them have been suggestions, for instance, that some vaccines might stabilize the loss of CD-4 white-blood cells, scien tists said. The University of Rochester Medical School has received formal approval to Iiegin the tests, and tri als of the three experimental HIV vac nines will eventually he conducted at other sites, said Dr. fames McNamara, a medical officer at the Nation al Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases. Each child will receive one shot every four weeks for six months and will be checked for 24 weeks after the Inst immunization for signs of physical reactions, such as fevers or swelling. McNamara said researchers also will try to determine if low or high doses of the vaccines c ause any immune reactions. The tests were informally announced last month at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston. The genetically engineered vaccines to be tested am made with parts of the HIV virus The vaccines am made by MicroGeneSys Inc. of Meriden, Conn.; Genontech Inc:, of South San Francisco, Clalif.; and Biocine, a joint venture of Chiron and CIBA-Geigy based in Emeryville, Calif.
