AIDS vaccine
HIV prevention shot
A vaccine designed to prevent HIV infection or slow progression to AIDS in those already infected.
Despite decades of research, no fully effective AIDS vaccine exists, though trials continue.
The virus's rapid mutation and ability to evade immune responses have made development exceptionally difficult: Scientists have pursued an AIDS vaccine since the 1980s.
