Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise
What the Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise does
The Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise promotes HIV vaccine development by sharing knowledge, fostering collaboration, prioritizing HIV vaccine R&D on the global health agenda, and supporting early-career African researchers and advocates through capacity-building initiatives. It was established in 2003 and became a programme of the IAS in 2018.
The Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise in context
Although there are multiple HIV prevention options, access and uptake are uneven, which means that HIV incidence remains worryingly high in some areas and populations. An HIV vaccine holds the key to halting the pandemic by decreasing transmission and new acquisitions of HIV.
I’m very excited now that I’m in the room with such great minds, especially for someone from Lesotho. After the HIV Vaccine Advocacy Academy, now they will hear from me!
