Vaccines work best against viruses with short gestation periods and low breakout numbers. Because of the way the HIV virus works, infecting white blood cells and gestating for long periods of time, I doubt a vaccine would do any good. Every time the infected cells rupture in mass and spread millions of viruses into your blood stream, your body wouldn't have enough time to produce enough antibodies to kill enough viruses to keep it from spreading.
It might help more if we could find a way to produce HIV antibodies in mass, like in livestock, and then inject them in large doses just as the infected cells are rupturing. Even better would be to inject an inhibitor before the infected cells rupture, so that the virus can't infect healthy cells before being destroyed by the antibodies. Another idea is to devise some kind of dialysis machine that can filter out infected cells.

There's almost 90 years left in the 21st century. Plenty of time.
