HIV Vaccination

A vaccine - also called a "vaccine" or "immunization" - is a substance that teaches your body's immune system to recognize and defend itself against harmful viruses or bacteria.
Vaccines given before you get infected are called "preventive vaccines" or "prophylactic vaccines" and you get them while you're healthy. This allows your body to put up defenses against these dangers beforehand. This way you will not get sick if you are exposed to illnesses later. Preventive vaccines are widely used to prevent diseases like polio, chickenpox, measles, mumps, rubella, influenza (flu), hepatitis A and B, and the human papillomavirus (HPV).
There is currently no vaccine available to prevent or treat HIV infection.
However, scientists are working to develop one. The NIH invests in multiple approaches to prevent HIV, including a safe and effective preventive HIV vaccine. These research efforts include two clinical trials of advanced multinational vaccines called Imbokodo and Mosaico.
Other NIH-supported research aims to provide additional HIV prevention options that are safe, effective, and desirable for diverse populations and evolving around the world to help end the global pandemic.
Learn more about how the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the NIH, is approaching the development of an HIV vaccine.
