Daud Faran Asif and Irshad M

Discovery of HIV as causative agent of AIDS let to the belief that a vaccine for AIDS will be available shortly but was not that easy, and it took more than 30 years of hard laboratory and clinical work toward HIV vaccine development. Efficacy trials of RV144 and their results revealed that HIV vaccine is accomplishable. Clinical trials for developing bNAbs has monoclonal antibodies and to increase its half-life are also underway to achieve a proper HIV vaccine. In this review article, we see that how these efficacy trials are highlighting HIV vaccine concepts in clinical development. Therapeutic vaccines are proving to be a functional cure toward HIV treatment and progress is ongoing in such HIV vaccine development which will attack HIV before it fuses with cell and cause infection thus preventing AIDS. So, in near future it will be possible to cure HIV and bring an end to this epidemic.
