Developing vaccine against AIDS
Implementation:
The key problem in developing an AIDS vaccine is the variability of HIV. Very little of the HIV's surface is identical in all strains of the virus and so far scientists have been unable to develop vaccines that make the immune system attack these "conserved areas". Also in 2000, the first documented case of "superinfection" showed that infection by HIV did not protect from infection by another, perhaps more virulent strain, of HIV. Broader:
