Part of the problem in developing an effective vaccine so far has been the issue of mutation. The HIV virus mutates, or changes, rapidly.
What this means for vaccine research and development is that as we are studying the virus and figuring out what will be effective against it, it changes, making whatever we have so far come up with ineffective.

Who invented the AIDS vaccine?
As of now, there is no widely available vaccine for AIDS. However, ongoing research is being conducted to develop an effective vaccine to prevent HIV infection.
What antiviral vaccine is able to fight HIV?
There is no vaccine for HIV at this time.
Is there a vacciane for HIV?
No; there is no vaccine for 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.
Why there is no vaccine HIV virus?
The HIV virus has proven difficult to fight for a number of reasons. One of them is the fact that the virus mutates quickly. That means that the virus changes at the genetic level, making finding a vaccine that works for all variants of the virus difficult if not impossible, thus far.
How does the HIV vaccine help to prevent chickenpox?
There is no commercially available HIV vaccine as of 2014.
Why is it difficult to produce a vaccine for malaria?
because there are different number of species with different effects that they can cause, therefore it is harder to develop a vaccine for it
It is difficult to develop vaccine for aids why?
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.
Can hepatitis B cause HIV or AIDS?
No. Hepatitis B and HIV are two different viruses. One does not cause the other.
What is one probolem that scientists must overcome to develope a vaccinefor AIDS?
One challenge scientists must overcome in developing an AIDS vaccine is the high genetic diversity of HIV, which makes it difficult to create a single vaccine that can protect against all strains. Additionally, the ability of HIV to rapidly mutate and evolve also poses a hurdle in vaccine development.
Virus without a vaccine?
HIV would be one.
Should all hospital personnel should be vaccinated for HIV.?
There is no available vaccine for the HIV virus.
