A trial is underway that could be 'the last roll of the dice' for an HIV vaccine this decade
A novel trial called PrEPVacc is being conducted to test the efficacy of two HIV vaccines and two forms of pre-exposure prophylaxis in preventing the spread of HIV. The success of this trial could mark a new phase of vaccine development, while failure could lead to a setback for HIV vaccine research.
The medical community has been searching for an HIV vaccine for nearly 40 years, with only one clinical trial showing modest effectiveness in preventing infection. The PrEPVacc trial aims for an efficacy rate of at least 70% for the tested vaccines.
