Vaccines
More than 30 million people worldwide live with HIV (UNAIDS 2008). Anti-retroviral therapy can control the progression of AIDS but cannot cure or thwart the spread of the disease. For every individual that begins treatment, about 3 more become infected. Historically, vaccines have effectively have prevented infectious diseases such as smallpox, polio, measles, and yellow fever. So HIV vaccines represent the best hope to end the HIV pandemic, but as of today we have no vaccine available. So, HIV vaccine research is a top priority for NIAID.
