Proof of concept for Amsterdam UMC-led HIV vaccinationWorldwide, an estimated 40 million people live with HIV, two-thirds living on the African continent. In 2023, more than 600,000 people died from HIV-related causes and 1.32 million became infected. There is no vaccine against the world's second most deadly infection – only tuberculosis kills more people. However, researchers from Amsterdam UMC have taken an important step towards reaching the goal of an HIV vaccine. The results of their phase one trial are published today in Science.
