Well that's an interesting set of answers.

Bottom line, HIV generates lots of genetic diversity via mutations, this allows it to escape conventional vaccines. Vaccines precondition your immune system to recognize and nuetralize a specific invading pathogen. However if there are numerous strains of the pathogen the likelihood that your vaccine will not generate the appropriate response increases. There are other viruses like this, like cold and flu viruses. There's a reason you have to get a different flu shot every year. HIV is even worse than that.

Don't believe the crap about "the man" not wanting a vaccine. If someone actually came up with an effective vaccine (and there are a few very novel and very promising approaches out there) they would be very wealthy and very famous. Even scientists like that idea.

HIV was not created in a lab, the first confirmed cases were described in 1959, not long after we finally figured out what DNA was. Long before we had the technology to understand let alone manipulate a retrovirus.

HIV is just an incredibly effective virus. More money is put into HIV research than nearly all other viral research combined.

The really is no suck thing as a cure for any virus. The vaccines just help a person immune system fight the virus and help keep away other infectious disease. That's why many people that have been received flu shots still get sick and some die. It is the person immune system that really fights the virus. HIV of course hits right at that immune system. Making it almost impossible to survive the hiv. Apparently there are a few people that have survived HIV. There is where research needs to be done.

Basically...HIV changes about 100x faster than the common cold. Meaning it mutates really fast. Even vaccines for the common cold aren't really effective, each year the flu shot is just the "best guess" for which particular cold virus will infect the most people. Even then a new vaccine has to be developed every year. Try developing a new vaccine every couple of days, there just isn't time.

Aquired Immuno deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) as all of know caused due to HIV virus which spreads attaching to our blood WBCs . Basically,this virus kills WBCs for its reproduction and thereby immune system gets deteriorated and human body becomes suceptible to various dieseases which otherwise do not occur. Our natural immunity to many dieseases vanish due to this virus. The HIV has all characteristic of Hepatitis B virus and vaccines are already in vougue and successfully prevented by medical community. A vaccine which could keep away these virusus to the walls of WBCs,in otherwords,the attachment to WBCs is root cause for spreading this virus and a plan to make detachment will successfully eradicate virus and this will be straw to breakthrough the camel's hump to prevent this gangantuan disease

A vaccine works by activating the body defenses to recognize the attacking illness. With bacteria we have mechanisms to neutralize or weaken them in order for the body to recognize them as foreign and to memorize the actions to kill them. With other mechanisms that attack the body, their are few ways of actually neutralizing or weakening them. So, if an un-weakened germ or bacteria or virus were introduced into the body, it could actually attack the body. Some of these germs actually have the ability to cause death in days. In the virus, it is difficult to find a point in its chemical structure that can be compromised or changed in order to weaken its growth and damage potential.
Some virus can actually avoid detection by the body and developing methods of recognizing the alien virus by the laboratory method is difficult to even diagnose by any method other than through the symptoms displayed by the patient.
New methods of eradicating a virus while it is constantly adapting new species in order to survive is expensive and difficult to discover. So, as you can determine the vaccine is prevented by cost, intellect, and the survival method of the said virus itself.

Oh! Goody! yet another "scientific created gene mutated vaccine" that they are asserting is going to help us get greater valuable! All from the human beings who created the rattling ingredient in the 1st place!! Vaccine's and medicines that have been meant to help mankind..created $ by using Dupont, Monsanto,the enormous 4 chemical $... They poison us and then create a treatment$!? genetically changed this ,that, and the different which they presented into the ambience and the nutrition chain and reasons all varieties of ailment and maximum cancers that they are able to treatment us of with their particular $ chemo scientific care $ drugs $ desire greater study $ all of us maximum have a treatment for the "ingredient" we created to make you ill$. Please consume greater of the nutrition ingredients, processed ingredients, and medicines that we've created to make you ill so we are able to make$$$$!! because of the fact the scientific community "we" understand all issues and we are able to tell the patron what's healthy and what isn't... (Is God ultimately initiating to teach a splash compassion? the nutritional and wellness rules have continually been there. guy chooses to forget approximately approximately and gets ill.) mans technologies and technological information has created all of those ailments/maximum cancers by using accident and on objective. occasion: fluoride and mercury is typical to be quite risky and yet such is forced into our water furnish and the dental marketplace with mercury amalgam filings in our enamel??!! the two reason severe delivery defects??!! psychological confusion, dementia... greater valuable residing via technological information????God help us all!!!

There is no profit in a cure. HIV is a man made disease, because there was no profit in the cure, and it was mainly in the gay community idiots thought it was a curse of some god, well it is a curse of mankind on humanity.
Now the pharmaceutical corporations are fighting over how much they can charge for the treatment drugs, not the cure, the treatment.
It is my belief that HIV was a chemical weapon that got out of hand. way out of hand. If a president of any country, with $ got it, they would be cured.

We cannot create a vaccine for HIV virus, as by the time we come up with a device, the virus mutates and so the vaccine does not inhibit or kill it.

HIV is avirus & it is a stage in aids . HIV attacks T4 cells which is centre for immune system. HIV changes its structure. it doesnt have any stable structure. so it is difficult to prepare vaccine for it

The problem with HIV is similar to the problem with the common cold virus. The virus, itself mutates with every transfer, so that each new case is slightly different from the host. It is actually possible to get multiple HIV infections, all different. The same problems exist with many cancers as well.
