Dr. Lisa Jones-Engel, a former primate researcher now a PETA scientist, tells Emil Guillermo how a reliance on monkeys as scientific models has delayed the development of an effective HIV vaccine for people.

A better approach is to adopt modern science techniques like those outlined in PETA's Research Modernization Deal.
