Since when does Fox carry science news? Isn't it sacrilegious or something?

Yes ,but on the other hand ,the new approach to vaccination looks very promising.
We may soon have a 'universal flu vaccine'. And a recent article in "Science" pointed out that ,HIV, like influenza virus ,mutates rapidly making it difficult to fashion a vaccine that will trigger an immune response to a broad range of sub-types.
If the new method works with influenza , it may also work with other rapidly mutating retroviruses ,like HIV.

This, too from the New England Journal of Medicine, reported in The Guardian:
Doctors now have convincing evidence that they put HIV into long-term remission in a Mississippi baby born with the Aids virus.
The case was reported earlier this year but some doctors were sceptical that the baby was really infected rather than testing positive because of exposure to the virus in her mother's blood.
The new report, published online on Wednesday by the New England Journal of Medicine, makes clear that the girl, now three, was infected in the womb. She was treated with an aggressive cocktail of antiretroviral drugs and shows no active infection despite stopping treatment 18 months ago.
"We want to be very cautious here. We're calling it remission because we'd like to observe the child for a longer time and be absolutely sure there's no rebound," said Dr Katherine Luzuriaga, an Aids expert from the University of Massachusetts who is involved in the child's care.
