cessible, preventive HIV/AIDS vaccines for use through-
out the world, with a particular focus on developing coun-
tries, where the need is most urgent; 
Whereas ten years ago, insufficient attention and resources 
were devoted to the need for, and advantages of, a vac-
cine to bring an end to this disease; 
Whereas the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative’s research 
and policy programs have galvanized scientific efforts and 
substantially increased financial and political support for 
this vital effort; 
Whereas since its founding, the International AIDS Vaccine 
Initiative has advanced six vaccine candidates from con-
cept to clinical trials, targeting the subtypes of HIV cir-
culating in the developing world—a record matched only 
by one large pharmaceutical company; 
Whereas today, the majority of newly designed HIV/AIDS 
vaccine candidates are focused on preventing HIV/AIDS 
in the developing world, in large part due to the efforts 
of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative; 
Whereas ten years ago only a few developing countries had 
participated in HIV/AIDS vaccine trials, but today sev-
eral countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia are ac-
tively participating in HIV/AIDS vaccine trials, a reflec-
tion of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative’s activ-
ism and commitment to working collaboratively with de-
veloping country partners; 
Whereas the model of the International AIDS Vaccine Initia-
tive, which closely links clinical trial site investigators to 
product developers, has resulted in the first HIV/AIDS 
vaccine trials being conducted in Kenya, Rwanda, and 
India, as well as trials in Uganda and South Africa;
