HIV and AIDS remain a persistent problem for global health. While great progress has been made in treating HIV, 1.7 million people are still newly infected each year and 38 million people are living with the virus today. There is currently no cure for HIV.

HIV-1 has many variants that are unevenly distributed throughout the world.
WHV believes that a globally-relevant vaccine is essential for successful prevention of HIV infections around the world.
