Expert Insights
Experts are weighing in on the new HIV vaccine, with some expressing excitement and others caution.
One expert noted:
The most interesting point of the article for me is that this vaccine appears to be a series of shots which act as a curriculum for the immune system. Each one slightly different and targeting a different stage of B-cell development.
Another expert warned:
Phase I trials happening now. Godspeed to them. It’s where most HIV vaccines die
While some experts are optimistic, others are more skeptical, noting that
Waiting for an HIV vaccine is the domain equivalent of hoping fusion power will solve our energy needs. Other solutions exist already; we just have to use them.
