RE: Why did HIV become a Problem?

in #science7 years ago

I did not know about the quick mutations, very interesting. So in theory if they were able to continuously sample the varieties of HIV in your body they might be able to target a vaccine and try to predict the mutations? Actually, is it possible that the immune system itself could identify and destroy the cells?

Prediction of a mutation is basically impossible and continuously monitoring all HIV varieties in a body is a huge task. But medicine progresses, we will see what the future brings. I have a generally positive outlook knowing what has already been achieved.
