X referring to any thing…. Even more specifically why can’t immunity be built against HIV/AIDS (or any other serious illness/disease)?

Now, I’m not a master at this or anything, but I like to think I know a bit about it.

In vaccines, there’s a tiny bit of the disease. You are putting it into your body, and your immune system is meant to try to purge it from your body. When it is gone, your body knows how to get rid of that disease, so you stand more of a chance when you get it.

With HIV and AIDS, they can’t really be fought off. They just stay with you, like cancer. They are possible to treat, but not 100% cure. (Yes, I know cancer can be cured, it’s just an example.)

Basically, your immune system is the biggest kid on the block. A family has their youngest kid sent to fight them, and the biggest kid obliterates the youngest kid, but now knows that families fighting tactics. Therefore they now could take on most of the family. Now imagine HIV and AIDs as a train.
