An effective HIV vaccine seems unlikely, but there could be serious
consequences if one is perfected.  One scenario is that to prime
the immune system sufficiently to overcome an initial HIV infection
may drain the immune system and leave it vulnerable to other
pathogens.  And if HIV were successfully vaccinated against, those
who would normally use condoms - or at least be selective in their
choice of sexual partners - would lose all abandon along with the
condoms and would proceed to contract traditional STDs along with
some new undiscovered ones.  It could be argued that the antibiotics
that cured syphilis and gonorrhea in the 1950s set the stage for
HIV in the 1970s, as the former STDs had become nothing more than a
nuisance and precautions not seen as very necessary.
