Reply to comment by HighpriestIalu in Vaccine prompts HIV antibodies in 97 per cent of people in small study by tonymmorley
Someone infected with HIV constantly makes new HIV antibodies. HIV then mutates to make them not work anymore because most of the protein is junk to block the important bits.
The issue isn't getting your body to make antibodies, it's getting your body to make ones that bind to the important bits that can't be changed from the right direction so the junk isn't blocking it.
