More than three decades after the identification of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), scientists are still working to develop a preventative vaccine that could finally put an end to the epidemic for which there are nearly two million new infections each year.
In a new study, published July 6 in The Lancet, a team of researchers led by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center’s Dan H. Barouch, MD, PhD, Director of the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research in collaboration with Janssen Vaccines & Prevention and other partners, evaluated a series of preventative HIV vaccine regimens in uninfected human volunteers in five countries.
