HIV Medical Development

Abstract

The Military HIV Research Program aims to mature candidate HIV vaccines, to validate their safety and effectiveness in human subjects, and to protect the military personnel from risks associated with HIV infection. These activities also include development of monoclonal antibody candidates to address HIV risk to the blood supply in large scale combat operations This project determines one or more prevention countermeasure candidates that are optimized through pre-clinical down-selection studies in large animal models and conducts human clinical trials in Africa, Asia and the United States to test for safety and immunogenicity (ability to invoke an immune response), and contributes to early proof of concept efficacy testing.
