Survey says...
It is too early to tell. If the current adenovirus-based trials show some degree of protection or control of viral load, then we have a substantial beachhead from which to work.

I think we will have something that modulates infection soon. [But] will we have something in a vial that's being distributed in the developing world? Highly unlikely.

I give it about a 50/50 chance. I wouldn't rule it out. But a one-time therapeutic vaccine is not going to happen.
Gary Nabel
director
National Institutes of Health's Vaccine Research Center
I think that the chances of a partially effective vaccine being licensed for use in humans is low. Hopefully one will be in the pipeline.
Julie Overbaugh

A traditional vaccine like smallpox or polio, I very much doubt it. But something that delays progression to AIDS, there's a reasonable chance of that.
