Brief Answer:
Yes HIV vaccine is developed in some country's of the world.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome to HCM.
You had truely heard that HIV vaccine is developed in some country's of the world but the data about it's efficacy are somewhat questionable so I will just say if you are willing than take it.
The best way to prevent the risk of HIV and other STDs is always do protected intercourse, avoid multiple sexual partners and other high risk behaviour like CSW. For post exposure you can take prophylaxis within 72 hours of contact.
Thank You
