BEIJING - China has begun testing a new AIDS vaccine on a group of volunteers after they were given physical exams and signed waivers, the government said.

A total of 49 volunteers between the ages of 18 and 50 will be part of the three-stage tests, the official Xinhua News Agency said, citing Chen Jie, director of the disease control agency in southern China's Guangxi region.

The first stage of testing will last 14 months, Xinhua said. It didn't say what the stage was meant to test, but said the second would cover the "immune nature and safety of the vaccine." advertisement

Chinese drug regulators approved the tests last November.
