Our mission is to fully characterize the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of HIV vaccine candidates with the goal of developing a safe, effective vaccine as rapidly as possible for prevention of HIV globally.
Who We Are
We are the world’s largest publicly-funded international collaboration focused on the evaluation of vaccines to prevent HIV/AIDS.
What We Do
Our sites conduct all phases of clinical trials — from evaluating early phase vaccines for safety and immunogenicity to testing vaccine efficacy.
Get Involved
Worldwide, thousands of people have participated in HIV vaccine trials. Volunteers are the heroes of vaccine development.
It Takes a Village
The HIV Vaccine Trials Network is an international partnership of research scientists, clinical trial sites, laboratories, statisticians, regulators and ethicists, participants, volunteers and community representatives working with industry, academia, and governments in the global search for a preventive HIV vaccine.
