HIV vaccine tests are currently being developed in various parts of the world, such as the General University Hospital of Valencia and 57 other research centers in eight countries around the world, including Mexico.
In our country, the principal investigator, Carlos Cabrera, has indicated that the vaccine has exceeded the threshold of 30 percent effectiveness and yet is categorized as a unique opportunity.
For almost a decade there has been no such major breakthrough in the development of one such treatment for HIV.
The specialist in Mexico said the vaccine is expected to be 95 percent effective by the end of the studies.
During the trial at least six doses of placebos will be applied to each arm and a 30-month period will be expected to see the behavior of the vaccine and determine whether the people who received the vaccine were entrusted.
