HIV-AIDS and STDs

HIV & Vaccines

Over the last 30 years, HIV treatment choices have vastly improved. However, medications can have negative side effects, be expensive, and be difficult to obtain in some countries. Some people may acquire drug resistance to particular HIV treatments, requiring them to switch regimens. HIV transmission can be prevented by properly using condoms and taking pre-exposure prophylaxis. However, researchers believe that the most efficient strategy to fully eliminate new HIV infections is to develop a prophylactic HIV vaccine. 1.    Covid-19 2. Hepatitis B is the second most common kind of hepatitis. 3. Human papillomavirus (for those up to age 26) 4 Influenza Virus (flu) 5 meningococcal vaccines to prevent meningococcal illness 6 pneumococcal infections (pneumonia) 7 Pertussis, tetanus, and diphtheria (whooping cough).  The three illnesses are all protected by a single vaccine.
