HIV & Vaccines

Over the past 30 years, HIV treatment options have improved significantly. However, drugs can have negative side effects, be expensive and difficult to obtain in some countries. Some people may develop drug resistance to a particular HIV treatment, requiring them to change regimens. HIV transmission can be avoided by appropriate condom use and pre-exposure prophylaxis.

However, scientists believe that the most effective course of action to completely eradicate modern HIV infections is to develop a prophylactic HIV vaccine. 1. Covid-19 2. Hepatitis B is the second most common type of hepatitis. 3. Human papillomavirus (for people under 26) 4 Influenza virus (flu) 5 Meningococcal vaccines to prevent meningococcal disease 6 Pneumococcal infection (pneumonia) 7 Whooping cough, tetanus and diphtheria (whooping cough). All three diseases are covered by a single vaccine.
