Plenary: HIV vaccine and cure research: Challenges and opportunities. An effective vaccine or functional cure will be needed to end the AIDS epidemic. Immune responses induced through natural infection are unable to durably control and eradicate HIV due to the tremendous genetic diversity of the virus, its ability to integrate irreversibly in long-lived target cells and the generalized immune dysfunction induced by the virus. This lecture will discuss the logistical and scientific challenges in HIV and vaccine and cure research and highlight some of the most promising approaches to achieving an effective vaccine, immune based-prevention or functional cure, particularly in communities where these interventions are urgently needed.
