Researchers at the University of Oxford in England are trialling a potential breakthrough vaccine for HIV that they hope could also serve as a cure for infected individuals.

, will test the HIVconsvX vaccine. University of Oxford professor Tomas Hanke says the vaccine is a "mosaic," capable of targeting a range of HIV-1 variants

While most HIV vaccine candidates work by attacking antibodies generated by B cells, Hanke explained that HIVconsvX uses the immune responses from T cells, a type of white blood cell that can kill virus-infected or cancerous cells, to target the most vulnerable regions of HIV. According to the university, the trial will assess the HIVconsvX vaccine's safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity.

Hanke said future trials will also look at combining the vaccine with other, antiviral drugs in an attempt to "establish control of the virus in the body.", 37.6 million people globally were living with HIV in 2020. Of these, 35.9 million were adults and 1.7 million were children under 15 years old.
