It’s not a vaccine, but it’s close to one at twice a year.
Even if we can consider HIV “cured” in the developed world (where PrEP is available to anyone who wants it) there’s no way we eradicate HIV from impoverished countries with limited healthcare access until we either have 1) a vaccine, or 2) a shot (or something) that prevents HIV for a really freaking long time.
Not sure if 6 months will quite cut it, but it’s great to see progress in the right direction. More advancement is needed.
- Frost1x 2y agoI assume you’re referring to things like the flu vaccine. Many vaccines can last 10, 20 years or more which this doesn’t come close to. That’s not to say it’s not a great improvement, I happily await the day we can nearly eliminate some of these infectious diseases that plague humanity.
