Canadian scientists developing new HIV vaccine
December 1st was World AIDS Day. To mark the occasion we invited a series of blogs by authors and editors from Retrovirology and AIDS Research and Therapy to talk about the latest research into the treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS. In this blog Dr. Trina Racine talks about the work she is involved in with other Canadian researchers to develop an effective HIV vaccine.
In the last 30 years, only 4 vaccines have been tested in people to determine their effectiveness at preventing HIV infection.

There are currently over 36 million people living with HIV worldwide and despite the rollout of effective HIV treatments, there are still 1.8 million new infections a year that could be prevented by an effective vaccine.
