HIV vaccines under study.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a worldwide epidemic, with over 42 million people currently infected.

The first of these vaccines presented disappointing results; however, that has not deterred researchers from continuing to develop more potential HIV vaccines. This article will review the various current HIV vaccine candidates under study.
