HIV Vaccine Approaches in COVID-19 Vaccine Development

HIV represents one of the most challenging viruses ever encountered. Though an HIV vaccine has yet to be licensed, vaccine science has made enormous strides as it confronts this rapidly-mutating virus. Years of painstaking work to develop accines for HIV are now making possible the record-breaking timelines that researchers aspire to for the development of COVID-19 vaccines. HIV vaccine research has generated more scientific knowledge about immune function and responses than ever existed. And key HIV vaccine platforms are fast-tracking the development and testing of experimental vaccines for COVID-19 today.
