Does this cure pre-existing infections
- heavyset_go 6y agoThe vaccines that I'm aware of only prevent infection in people without HIV. You can look up the vaccines on clinicaltrials.gov and find out their efficacy in different populations.
- yarg 6y agoI'd guess so? It seems to target cells outside of HIV's production pipeline (to stimulate them into becoming little antibody factories).
- elil17 6y agoAt this point, no one knows if it actually prevents HIV, just that it produces a immune response (which can be detected through blood tests) which indicates that it could. In general, it is possible that an HIV vaccine could lead to remission of pre-existing infections, but it's impossible to know yet if this one would do that.
