| Response from Dr. Holodniy
 Two types of vaccines are currently being studied. A preventative vaccine which would be given to those who are not infected and that would prevent HIV infection and a therapuetic vaccine that could be given to people who are infected and that would boost their own immune system to control the virus with or without HIV drugs. | ||||||||
