HIV Vaccines

One of the greatest scientific achievements of the last century has been the creation of vaccinations against many viruses, including polio, smallpox, hepatitis, human papillomavirus (HPV), and even chickenpox. However, HIV is still a virus that eludes researchers trying to develop a vaccine to protect against it. Certain STIs can also be avoided by getting vaccinated early, before engaging in sexual activity. Hepatitis A and B, as well as the human papillomavirus (HPV), can all be prevented by vaccination.
