Featured Research HIV/AIDS

The HIV/AIDS research program strives to improve treatment for HIV infection, develop approaches to possibly cure HIV, test methods to prevent HIV infection and to develop an effective HIV vaccine. The research also includes improving the effectiveness of currently available therapies through decreasing treatment disparities among populations and through increasing retention of infected patients in care. Much of the research is done through collaborations with the Rollins School of Public Health, the Emory Center for AIDS Research (CFAR), the Emory Vaccine Center, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, the Grady Health System, the Veterans Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the countries of Georgia, Kenya, Rwanda, Thailand, and Zambia. Clinical trials for treatment, prevention and vaccine testing are primarily coordinated through the Emory-CDC HIV/AIDS Clinical Trials Unit (CTU).
