HIV vaccines Research & Development – The field of research includes research work that is carried against HIV, its infection, symptoms, treatment and prevention. Vaccines developed against HIV can be studied under this branch of science. The field of research thus enables development of vaccines against HIV. A few such vaccines include “RV380 (AD26 prime/MVA boost)”, “RV262 (DNA prime/MVA boost)” and “Novel Heroin-HIV Vaccine”.
A vaccine is a biological preparation that protects against the deadly infections or diseases. Vaccines have been developed for smallpox, polio, measles, and yellow fever but not for the HIV. Currently we do not have effective vaccine to protect human immune system from HIV virus. Still scientists are in clinical trials to find out significant vaccines that prevent from HIV infection.
The full form of HIV is human immunodeficiency virus which causes HIV infection and AIDS. The full form of AIDS is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. AIDS is life threatening disease which causes through failure of Immune System. It takes long time weakens our immune system. AIDS will occur by breast milk, blood, semen, vaginal fluid. In initial stages of HIV, the symptoms are none. There’s no cure for HIV/AIDS, there are some therapies which helps to slow disease development.
