If this research continues to pan out, scientists may be able to provide lasting protection against other diseases like hepatitis C, flu, and covid-19.
in 2018 and is part of a large collaboration between scientists at Scripps, the National Institutes of Health, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, and other groups in the U.S. and Sweden. It involved 48 healthy participants, 36 of whom were given two doses of the vaccine eight weeks apart .
HIV infection can be now effectively managed through lifelong antiviral therapy. But the virus has the ability to craftily change its structure once inside the body, making it hard for the immune system to recognize it for long. This means that sustained immunity to the virus, at least in most cases, has remained out of reach. But we’ve known for decades that some people can produce broadly neutralizing antibodies to the virus that can keep up with it.

HIV vaccine candidate induces immune response in early clinical trial: 'An important step forward' | CNNAn experimental HIV vaccine has been found to induce broadly neutralizing antibodies among a small group of volunteers in a Phase 1 study. The findings suggest that a two-dose regimen of the vaccine, given eight weeks apart, can elicit immune responses against the human immunodeficiency virus.
