This is a virus, which means that it will mutate are it has become resistant to this current vaccine.

You are so right! A vaccine protects against becoming infected. Right now there are no vaccines available to the public just treatments to manage the disease and it is those treatments that the virus is mutating to overcome. People resorted back to unsafe behaviors--unprotected sex with multiple partners, anonymous sex, sharing dirty needles, etc.-- because they think the treatments are a cure They are NOT.
If indeed a vaccine is developed (and noticed the article said "partial protection"), I fear that it will lead to a complete throwing of caution to the wind. HIV is a very smart virus and there is the chance that it mutates against even a vaccine.
