Standard Text: Select all that apply.
1. The development of new drugs.
2. Advances on how to treat and control the disease.
3. Ways to prevent transmission.
4. Ethical treatment regimens.
5. Vaccine cocktails.
Correct Answer: 1,2
Rationale 1: Many new medications have been discovered due to the research for an HIV vaccination.
Rationale 2: Research for a vaccination for HIV has lead to advances in the treatment and control of HIV.
Rationale 3: Research for a vaccine has not led to new ways to prevent the transmission of HIV.
Rationale 4: Research for an HIV vaccine has not lead to ethical treatment regimens. One problem with the development of an HIV vaccine is how to ethically test the vaccine.
Rationale 5: Vaccine cocktails are not a benefit of the research for an HIV vaccine.
Global Rationale: Vaccine research has not been a total failure. Scientists have learned an enormous amount about the immune system's response to HIV infection. This has promoted the development of new drugs and advanced our understanding of how to treat and control the infection. This research has not led to new ways to prevent transmission, more ethical treatment regimens, or the development of vaccine cocktails.
