TRIAL VACCINE....
But their is a "morning after" post infection treatment that some say is 70% effective. It is extremely brutal from what I hear. But better than dying of AIDS, which doesn't seem to be the case like it used to be.
The Mutant Virus idea is a half-myth. Humans tend to grow immune to viruses over a period of generations. Some may already be naturally immune to HIV, such as the Ugandan Prostitutes that just made headlines.
If that wasn't the case, humanity would have been wiped out by the first common cold!

Its not really a vaccine, it's a procedure. and its very expensive. And, it don't really provide a permanent cure. Its like cutting the mold off of cheese, it will come back.

theyre testing one i think but its not available to the public... i doubt it will work though, the virus mutates so rapidly it might be good for a couple years at best but then itll be outdated

yes it's called circumcision:
"The NIH's Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB), reviewing interim data, found that medically performed circumcision significantly protected men in the trial from HIV infection."
not 100% effective but significant results!
