| vaccine |
A molecule that causes an immune response. Vaccines usually consist of a small portion of the organism (often a virus) we want to avoid. Some vaccines are weakened or killed versions of the organism. The idea is to "educate" the immune system so that exposure will not catch the body off guard; it will already have antibodies designed to neutralize the bug. Most vaccines are safe and desirable in people with HIV infection, but live, weakened ones are to be avoided.
