HIV is a RNA virus, which means it goes through lots of mutations. A vaccine depends on some of the same immune responses produced by natural infection to create a "memory" of the virus. For HIV, this is particularly hard because the immune system cannot create broad enough antibodies; an antibody created for one HIV virus might not work for another HIV virus, which most likely would have evolved. Thus, our killer T cells cannot recognize the HIV virus many times, failing to defend our bodies against HIV.

AIDS can be prevented with a new vaccine called AZT?
Scientists and researchers have been searching for an effective HIV vaccine for many years. Because of HIV's ability to mutate so rapidly however, it has been difficult to develop an effective vaccine. Studies continue, but increasingly the opinion is that an effective vaccine is still many years away. But even when there is an effective HIV vaccine, it will not mean that there is a cure for HIV. A vaccine will help to keep uninfected people uninfected but will not directly benefit people who are already living with HIV/AIDS. The ongoing advances in HIV treatment are increasingly becoming what could be considered to be a "cure" for people living with HIV/AIDS. These medications, when taken as directed, can help diminish the impact that HIV has on the body and allow people living with HIV to live long and productive lives.
