Ria Novosti news agency quoted the head of the Agency for monitoring, protecting the interests and health of consumers of the Russian Federation said: “Russia has been involved in the development of vaccines against HIV infection for many years. We have our own prototype, we have our own vaccine. The Vector Research Center already has a vaccine prototype, and a number of other research organizations in the Russian Federation have their own prototypes.
Earlier, in late November, HIV infection specialist of the Russian Ministry of Health, Alexei Mazus, expressed hope that a drug to prevent the disease will appear in the coming years. He noted that the world is only one step away from the emergence of injectable vaccines that can protect the body from infection.
