HIV Vaccination Peer-review Journals

A vaccine also called a “shot” or “immunization” is a substance that teaches your body's immune system to recognize and defend against harmful viruses or bacteria. Vaccines given before you get infected are called “preventive vaccines” or “prophylactic vaccines,” and you get them while you're healthy. This allows your body to set up defences against those dangers ahead of time. That way, you will not get sick if you're exposed to diseases later. Preventive vaccines are widely used to prevent diseases like polio, chicken pox, measles, mumps, rubella, influenza (flu), hepatitis A and B, and human papillomavirus (HPV).

The development of a vaccine against HIV may be a global health priority and an incredible scientific challenge that has been hampered by the extraordinary genetic diversity of HIV and therefore the immune evasive properties of the HIV envelope glycoprotein to which neutralizing antibodies target. Despite the development of antiretroviral therapy that can extend the life of infected individuals, these drugs are not widely available in the underdeveloped world and, thus, a therapeutic vaccine would be of great benefit.

The concept of "review article" is breaking away the concept of peer-reviewed literature. It is possible for a review to be peer-reviewed, and it's possible for a review to be non-peer-reviewed.
