Wednesday May 18 was World Aids Vaccine Day 2022, which has been marked every year since 1998 to raise awareness of the ongoing fight for a vaccine against the disease.
Of course, HIV treatments have advanced tremendously over the years, and those who have access to the right treatment can live a normal lifespan.
However, across most of the world, these treatments are either not available or only available to a few - which makes the effort to develop a vaccine all the more important.
