The difficulties in developing an effective AIDS vaccine have served to highlight the deficiencies in the overall understanding of the underlying virologic and immunologic processes. The salient features of these difficulties include the virus's high degree of genetic diversity, resistance to neutralization by antibodies, and relentless destruction of the host's immune system.
