If aids is a virus is there a way to treat it like polio.?

If aids is a virus is there a way to treat it like polio. You know how polio has a vaccine. Is it possibel to create a vaccine for aids with the same principles as polio vaccine.

Unfortunately, the HIV/AIDS virus changes its viral coat constantly and rapidly. That means that by the time the body recognizes it and produces antibodies to it, it has already changed and will no longer be affected by any antibodies. That is what AIDS is. AIDS means the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. That is the stage where the immune system, which has been trying to mount an immune response has totally exhausted itself. It is no longer able to produce antibodies (Immunodeficiency) , and so the body becomes a target for ordinary bacteria and some cancers, which were kept in check by the immune system. And that is also why there has been an intensive effort to produce a vaccine, but without success, so far.

But, by using modern anti-viral and anti-retroviral drugs, the total amount of virus (the viral load) can be reduced. That allows the immune system to not have to work so hard, and so the patients can still protect themselves against ordinary bacteria.

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. This is the virus that causes AIDS. HIV is different from most other viruses because it attacks the immune system. The immune system gives our bodies the ability to fight infections. HIV finds and destroys a type of white blood cell (T cells or CD4 cells) that the immune system must have to fight disease.

This leaves our bodies unable to use a vaccine as the immune system itself is compromised. See a complete breakdown of the HIV virus from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Yes, and that idea is being researched right now with promising results. The big problem to that idea is the social issues it creates. Some people think that a vaccine against HIV/AIDS would allow kids to have free sex and therefore the downfall of the world.

It is a good idea, and it will most likely pan out to be the best way to treat (prevent) the disease, if it can ever be used.
