NIAID-supported investigators are
conducting an abundance of research on HIV infection, including
developing and testing HIV vaccines and new therapies for the
disease and some of its associated conditions. Investigators are
testing 29 HIV vaccines in people, and are developing or testing
many drugs for HIV infection or AIDS-associated opportunistic
infections. Researchers also are investigating exactly how HIV
damages the immune system. This research is suggesting new and more
effective targets for drugs and vaccines. NIAID-supported
investigators also continue to trace how the disease progresses in
different people.
Scientists are investigating and testing chemical barriers, such as topical microbicides, that people can use in the vagina or in the rectum during sex to prevent HIV transmission. They also are looking at other ways to prevent transmission, such as controlling sexually transmitted diseases and modifying people's behavior, as well as ways to prevent transmission from mother to child.
