Abstract |
Several lines of evidence now argue strongly that a successful HIV vaccine does not need to block infection completely. It has to mimic what already occurs in a minority of unvaccinated individuals--namely, rapid clearance of infection or reduction of viral load to a level that does not produce symptoms or permit transmission to others. The various vaccine candidates are reviewed.
