HIV Vaccine? May 4, 2006 I recently read an article that address research being done on HIV-negative people for an HIV-vaccine. My question is is this a vaccine for the negative people only as prevention...or would this vaccine work for HIV positive people too somehow? Howard |

Response from Dr. Daar
 Hi Howard, There are growing numbers of HIV vaccine strategies being pursued. Eventually some will target those HIV-uninfected to keep them that way and others HIV-infected to assist their body in controlling infection. At this point most of the work is deigned to simply find a strategy that induces a meaningful immune response in the body of animals and humans with the hope that they work at all. In fact, there are studies underway in both HIV-infected and uninfected to test the utility of various vaccine strategies currently available. The science is getting better in this area but there is still a long way to go. Best, Eric . |
