But even when there is an effective HIV vaccine, it will not mean that there is a cure for HIV. A vaccine will help to keep uninfected people uninfected but will not directly benefit people who are already living with HIV/AIDS. The ongoing advances in HIV treatment are increasingly becoming what could be considered to be a "cure" for people living with HIV/AIDS. These medications, when taken as directed, can help diminish the impact that HIV has on the body and allow people living with HIV to live long and productive lives.

Can aids can be prevented with a new vaccine called azt?
AZT is a medicine used to treat HIV. It is not a vaccine. Sometimes HIV drugs can be used before exposure to the virus and reduce the risk of infection. AZT is commonly used by HIV-positive women during pregnancy to prevent passing HIV to their babies. The new born babies also use a small dose of AZT afterwards as an additional protection. The best way for women to use AZT in this way is in a combination with at least two other HIV drugs.

AZT medication holds AIDS off for a while. In the movie, Roger doesn't take an AZT break, does he? No, he doesn't, Mimi does. Therefore, he might have AIDS. Angel has AIDS too, as does Collins. Mimi has HIV. THE END. Another Correction: In the movie, Roger does take an AZT break with Mimi at the life cafe
