HIV vaccine development

HIV vaccine development aims to create a safe and effective way to prevent HIV infection by training the immune system to recognize and fight the virus. Researchers identify parts of HIV that trigger immune responses and design vaccines to stimulate these defenses. Challenges include the virus's high mutation rate, making it difficult for vaccines to target all variants. Advances involve innovative techniques like mRNA technology and broadly neutralizing antibodies. While progress has been made, an effective HIV vaccine is still under development, with ongoing studies working toward a solution to reduce HIV transmission and impact globally.
