Since most of the transmission is sexual transmission, you have a regional or local response to the virus.

That is why it is so important not only to have excellent treatment but also to try to get back the immune defense, because there you have a natural defense that takes place everywhere.

We are working with a biotech company, Calypte, which has designed a urine test for the HIV antibody.

We don't know why, but there are some gradients of infection.

What perhaps should receive more attention is the effect of the treatment on the virus.

Our goal is not to completely eradicate the infection - that would be very difficult - but to produce a vaccine that will prevent not infection but disease. I think this is more possible.

They don't actually see the real world, where 95% of the people with HIV are not treated and are dying. And even though we have some blue sky now in our country, the sky could become cloudy again very soon.

The idea of the live-virus vaccine is to produce in a continuous way some viral antigens.

I've participated in meetings where there were concerns by ethical experts. There is no clear solution.

AIDS does not inevitably lead to death, especially if you suppress the co-factors that support the disease. It is very important to tell this to people who are infected.

Basic research is very useful, but it should be more geared toward application than it was before.

Psychological factors are critical in supporting immune function. If you suppress this psychological support by telling someone he's condemned to die, your words alone will have condemned him.

My proposal now is to test a vaccine first on people who have been infected, and if you show some efficacy at this level, you might be able to go further to study uninfected people in a population with a high rate of infection.

It's very difficult in our society. You cannot impose certain behavioral changes. Education can do it at the right time, probably by high school. After that it is too late.

AIDS win be our first priority, but in two years' time we don't know where AIDS research will stand, so we are also thinking of activity on other diseases.

I think we should put the same weight now on the co-factors as we have on HIV.

Another interesting field, which is my own, is cofactors, not only to the disease but also to transmission. I am still puzzled by the fact that you get more sexual transmission in some ethnic populations. One way to answer this is to look for genetic factors.

I am very puzzled by the fact that young people are getting infected again. They don't take precautions despite an enormous amount of information. It's like riding a race car at 200 kilometers an hour. Some people like the risk.

It's easier to learn things for life by the age of 12 and not the age of 18. This is just my guess.

What seems to be clear to me is that after the primary infection most of the cells die indirectly, but at the later stage, when the viral load is very high, the virus kills a lot of cells directly.

One could not have isolated this retrovirus without knowledge of other retroviruses, that's obvious. But I believe we have answered the criteria of isolation.

It's clear that prevention will never be sufficient. That's why we need a vaccine that will be safe.

The center will be fully operational in two years' time, but probably in the middle of the year we will have a temporary laboratory of 4,000 square feet.

Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure.

God, I mean I had so many people tell me, 'What you're doing doesn't work.' I used to have to get on stage and apologize for talking the way that I speak.

I was brought up by an Episcopalian father and Presbyterian mother in nondenominational Army chapels all over the world and never really had much religious experience.

Motion-picture studio floors used to be all wooden and not smooth at all. This was difficult when moving a camera around on a dolly.

All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land and all its products have a certain fabulous quality as if they belonged to another planet.

Information is crucial to our biological substance - our genetic code is information. But before 1950, it was not obvious that inheritance had anything to do with code. And it was only after the invention of the telegraph that we understood that our nerves carry messages, just like wires.

Heaven be thanked, we live in such an age when no man dies for love except upon the stage.

I had the greatest time of my life making 'Saw 3.' More fun than '2' for sure.

Since then, I have worked with the group that commissioned and improved the ring and that is now preparing the construction of a second ring to increase the p stacking rate by an order of magnitude.

First of all, I was a wrestling fan when I was young. Even when I figured out what wrestling was, I was still a fan.

I would always rather do a mediocre script with a great filmmaker than a great script with a mediocre filmmaker.

For me, juicing isn't about binging and cleansing; I try to incorporate it into a balanced diet.

I've tried very hard and I've never found any resemblance between the people I know and the people in my novels.

Writing is solitary. You spend so much time alone and in your own mind, telling stories.

I believe I am a person with unusual talents. I think I'd be a liar or stupid if I were to deny that.

I wear high heels for long legs.

I have a huge ego - I know that. Do I worry about it? No, I think it's cool. I have a lot of fun.

I haven't read a newspaper in 20 years. I don't look at the computer or anything. You have to have a filter on what you let in.

The band would play on the night off for the local hotel bands and we'd back all the different acts. So I'd been advised by good friends of mine to come back to Hawaii. Oh, I loved Honolulu, playing at a place right on the beach at Waikiki!

I started playing baseball and soccer. Those were my sports on the streets and in school when I was growing up. I didn't even start playing basketball until I was 14.

Coaching wouldn't be for me. No, certainly not.

Quite honestly I never had a desire to be an actor. I tell people, I did not choose acting; acting chose me. I never grew up wanting to be an actor. I wanted to play football. In about 9th grade an English teacher told me I had a talent to act. He said I should audition for a performing arts high school so I did on a whim. I got accepted.

All this stuff doesn't happen to you for your own sake. It doesn't happen to you so you can fill your shelves with trophies or line your pockets with cash; it happens so you can have a positive influence and encourage other people.

I love 'Robot Chicken,' 'The Boondocks' and 'America's Funniest Home Videos.' Then there's this show called 'The First 48.' It's a documentary about killings where they try and find murderers. They interrogate people and they tell on each other - it's hilarious.
