Why is there a vaccine for smallpox, but not for HIV?

Websites, especially biochemical, would be great.

Thanks!

I've heard that in a pinch you could bring down a fever by drawing some blood. Is it because there's a lot of WBC's in the blood of a febrile person, and taking some blood out removes some of the WBCs?

I've been sick since the week of the 13th in August. I've visited the doctor twice since then, and she's prescribed me with medicines for a sinus infection both times. She gave me amoxicillin the first time and something like azythromax a few days ago. I've been taking the medicine for 3 days so far out of the 5 I'm supposed to, and my sinus symptoms have completely went away, but the sore throat that was barely existant before is now UNBEARABLE. My glands are so swallen that you can see them in my throat through my skin. I feel like my face is pushing on my ears, and my ears have been ringing for the past few days and my ear canal feels like it's swelling shut. I've drugged myself up on everything possible, from Tylenol PM to Motrin to Brometane, and NOTHING has made me feel the least bit better. I've been doing the obvious things like eating popsicles all the time and drinking tea but they only provide SLIGHT relief and ONLY when I'm eating or drinking it.Should I go to the hospital?

I cut myself with one yesterday and I'm not vaxinated against Tetanus -it's a horrible, deadly illness. I'm worried, should I consider it a certainty that Tetanus was in that old rusty nail ?

I went on the Radiance of the Seas to have a decent Vacation. Over the last two days I've been imprisoned... Quarantined in my room because the Doctor though I have the Stomach Flu. Yes, I realize he's doing what's best for everyone else onboard, but my suspisions were answered today when I tried a little experiment. Each day I ate at the Onboard Cafe, I had diahrra afterwards. Yesterday I didn't eat at that Cafe, hence I didn't get sick.

I haven't been sick at all today, but then I'd decided I'd see if I actually had the Stomach Flu or actually Food Poisoning... So I tried some Lunch at the Cafe... And wouldn't you know it, I got Diahrrea. So did my Mom.. But we weren't sick yesterday. It gets better.. Apparently I went into the Medical Bay with that one Symptom at 1:30AM, telling them, according to their Log Book, that I had those Symptoms a half-hour later from the specified time.

The vaccine is fairly new, but should it be treated like the other vaccines that are mandatory throughout childhood? Please vote yes or no and explain why.

It started as a small pimple. I am pretty certain it's infected. I drained it when it became a white head, just as any other pimple. I then cleaned it with peroxide and put bacitracin on it. I went to sleep and then woke up and my nose was red and slightly swollen. I cleaned the area again with peroxide and put more bacitracin on it.

It's now two days later, and I've had to basically squeeze on the end of my nose every time I go to clean my nose and large amounts of puss come out. My nose is moderately swollen, hurts, and what's worse is the pain feels as if it's spread into my right nostril.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm planning to go see a doctor, but I just wonder if something I'm doing is making things worse.
