A vaccine to prevent HIV infection, the virus that leads to AIDS, has shown modest results for the first time, researchers have found, raising hopes that a disease that kills millions every year may someday be beaten.

In what is being called the world’s largest HIV vaccine trial ever — involving more than 16,000 participants in Thailand — researchers found that people who received a series of inoculations of a prime vaccine and booster vaccine were 31 percent less likely to get HIV, compared with those on a placebo.

“Before this study, it was thought vaccine for HIV is not possible,” Colonel Jerome Kim, who is the HIV vaccines product manager for the U.S. Army, told CNN.
