Global health R&D at work in New York
The International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) is working to develop HIV vaccines and other prevention tools. Research by IAVI and partners has yielded insights into how the immune system attempts to control the virus, how HIV evades immune defenses, how disease progression varies by virus strain, and how some people living with HIV naturally produce antibodies against a broad array of HIV types. IAVI is supporting development and testing of 11 vaccine candidates.
