More than 25,000 HIV-negative individuals have participated in both government- and privately sponsored HIV vaccine trials.
This event will discuss current HIV vaccine research including the results of the 'Thai Study', and outcomes of the recent Paris HIV Vaccine Conference. Speakers will be announced shortly.
