Holy shit, I did not know there was a HIV vaccine.

It was just announced in Nature a week ago. It's extremely recent news. (Of note, the article talks about how it is successful in instigating a strong immune response, but that doesn't always translate to immunity.)

Well, it's a step up from no HIV vaccine.

The pre-exposure prophylaxis shot is also pretty amazing. The initial clinical trials in Sub-Saharan Africa demonstrated a 0% HIV infection rate for people receiving the shot every 6 months as directed.
