While the world knows several ways of preventing transmission of HIV, a safe and effective vaccine is still lacking despite a three-decade search by scientists.

During this year's AIDS Vaccine 2011 conference in Bangkok from Sept. 12 to Sept. 15, scientists presented more than 400 new studies outlining advances in the search for an AIDS vaccine.
