Luk Montagny, one of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine laureates, made a significant statement on the 6th, expressing optimism that an AIDS therapeutic vaccine could be developed within the next five years. He emphasized that this breakthrough could help control or even stop the spread of HIV effectively.
Speaking at a press conference held in Sweden on the same day, Montagny acknowledged the challenges in finding a cure for AIDS in the short term. However, he remained hopeful that a therapeutic vaccine targeting HIV infection might become a reality within four to five years.
According to Reuters, approximately 33 million people worldwide are living with HIV, and despite ongoing efforts, finding a cure or a preventive vaccine remains a major challenge. If a therapeutic vaccine is successfully developed, it would enable infected individuals to better manage the virus, preventing its transmission to others and significantly reducing the global impact of AIDS.
Montagny, along with German scientist Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, played a key role in discovering the HIV virus in the 1980s. Together, they shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine with Harald zur Hausen, who was recognized for his discovery of the human papillomavirus linked to cervical cancer. Their work has had a lasting impact on the fight against infectious diseases.
