Identifying a successful HIV preventive vaccine is among the highest research priorities of the US NIH. While therapies for HIV have brought hope to those who are already HIV-infected, stopping the worldwide epidemic will require safe, effective HIV vaccines. Here, we describe scientific and other obstacles to attaining that goal and provide a brief synopsis of clinical trial results, recent preclinical results, and future priorities.
