Vaccine could make HIV a chronic minor infection

A vaccine tested in a clinical trial has the potential to turn HIV into a 'minor chronic infection,' similar to herpes, scientists claim.

Ninety per cent of healthy volunteers given the MVA-B vaccine developed an immune response to HIV in phase I clinical trials.

"MVA-B vaccine has proven to be as powerful as any other vaccine currently being studied, or even more," said Professor Mariano Esteban, at the National Biotech Centre in Madrid, where the vaccine was developed.
