Hypothetical model of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pandemic evolution. With scaling up of current prevention and treatment modalities, the incidence of HIV infection and associated mortality rates will probably continue to decrease in the absence of a vaccine. However, a safe and at least moderately effective HIV vaccine (combined with other modalities) is essential to achieving a more rapid and sustained end of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
