And knowing what’s the next best thing
HIV is one of the fastest mutating viruses in the world. It mutates a million times faster than bacteria and produces many different versions of itself even within one infected person.One of the most sought-after vaccines in medicine is the HIV vaccine. When HIV was first discovered in 1981, scientists were optimistic that they would be able to develop a vaccine in a few years. More than 40 years later and after millions of people have died from AIDS, an effective HIV vaccine remains elusive.
Nevertheless, scientists aren’t giving up on finding an effective HIV vaccine. With the advances in vaccinology developed during the Covid-19 pandemic, there are more and more options to explore in terms of vaccine targets and technologies for implementation. mRNA vaccines have revolutionized what people thought were possible in terms of what could be targeted and how robust an immune response could be induced.
