For the first time in seven years, an experimental HIV vaccine regimen will be tested in a large-scale clinical trial.

Both trials are funded by the National Institutes of Health and Infectious Diseases, or NIAID, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and conducted by the NIAID-funded HIV Vaccine Trials Network, which is headquartered at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Fred Hutch is home to the largest HIV vaccine trials network in the world.
Larry Corey, president and director emeritus of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and principal investigator for the HIV Vaccine Trials Network, is available for interviews. In an op-ed piece, he and co-author David Baltimore addressed the common misperception that the 'AIDS crisis is over', and emphasized the critical need for a vaccine.
