HIV Vaccine - Classification of All Theoretically Possible HIV Vaccines

Classification of All Theoretically Possible HIV Vaccines

Any theoretically possible HIV vaccines must inhibit or stop the HIV virion replication cycle. So, the targets of the vaccine are the following phases of the HIV virion cycle:

• Phase I. Free state
• Phase II. Attachment
• Phase III. Penetration
• Phase IV. Uncoating
• Phase V. Replication
• Phase VI. Assembling
• Phase VII. Releasing

So, the possible approaches for the HIV vaccine are the following (in the bracket specified the Phases were it is possible to do).
