<p> An article badyzing the results of the study is published in the scientific journal Lancet. He says the vaccine caused a proper immune system reaction of all 393 test participants. He also helped protect monkeys from a virus similar to HIV. </p>
<p> Now, it is necessary to do further tests and determine if he is able to protect against human HIV. In a world infected with HIV or AIDS, about 37 million people live. Each year, there are about 1.8 million new cases </p>
<p> The study was conducted in 2015-2016, and in July 2017, scientists informed the world of its findings. </p>
<p> Now, his key data are published at an early stage. Johnson & Johnson, whose daughter, Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies, developed the vaccine. </p>
<p> Despite the fact that HIV treatment becomes more effective every year, the vaccine against this virus remains effective and the therapy remains only in the dreams of doctors and patients. Pre-exposure HIV prophylaxis is effective, but it must be taken regularly (almost daily). </p>
<p> The HIV vaccine has become a real challenge for scientists, partly because the virus has many strains. </p>
<p> The new vaccine called mosaic is made up of proteins from different strains of this virus, so ideally it should become a universal protection. </p>
<p> This study was a randomized trial. liruemym double-blind study with a placebo, which is considered the standard method in medicine. Scientists have tested different versions of the vaccine on healthy participants aged 18 to 50 who are not infected with HIV. </p>
<p> Participants were recruited from several countries: United States, Rwanda, Uganda, South Africa and Thailand. All types of vaccines proved effective and safe for patients </p>
<p> In a parallel study, scientists vaccinated Rhesus monkeys against an HIV-like virus that affects monkeys. </p>
</p>
<p> Harvard Medical School Professor <strong> Dan Baruk, </strong> who led this study, states that it is too early to conclude that this vaccine is capable of preventing infection. </p>
<p> "However, the results of the latest study are encouraging, and scientists are already planning to test a vaccine for 2,600 women in southern Africa. </p>
<p> This is not a specific immune response. The first HIV vaccine tested in humans. For example, one of the previous ones has already been tested in Thailand and has shown a reduction in the level of infections by almost a third </p>
</p>
<p> Dr. <strong> Michael Brady </strong> Medical Director of Terrence Higgins Trust, He added that there are currently effective ways to prevent infections, such as contraception and antiretroviral therapy, that prevent transmission of HIV infection. ;infection. </p>
