What do you think about one of the Australian Vaccine that got everybody in the study to test HIV positive. I don't think researches know enough to claim it save without long term tests. I also heard that HIV can hide in mRNA from your Immune system. I would call that long lasting.

Rubbish. It did not cause HIV. The reason they cancelled the project was that uninformed people would go around claiming that it caused HIV. Also, other vaccines are now available.

"This is a reference to trials of a vaccine being developed by the biotech company CSL and The University of Queensland which used a fragment of a HIV virus protein as a component to stabilise the vaccine (here). Production was halted after trials showed that antibodies generated in response to the protein fragment could lead to false positives on some HIV tests (here)."
