AIDS Vaccine?

I wasn't aware this was happening, but apparently there is an AIDS vaccine in clinical trials, and the first human trials of it began today in Pune, India. The drug is called tgAAC09 and is described as a recombinant adreno-associated viral vector. I don't know what that means, but the article clearly states that while human trials have begun, it looks like at least eight years before a vaccine is actually available.
