The mission of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (iavi.org) is the rapid development of an effective vaccine against AIDS and HIV. Coordinating the work of its in-house research laboratories with governments, private businesses, and universities on four continents, IAVI focuses on avenues of research that have previously been neglected in AIDS vaccine development initiatives. A study completed in 2009 in Thailand demonstrated the validity of the concept that a human vaccine can prevent HIV infection. IAVI and its partner research organization are now studying antibodies that can neutralize a large number of variants of the fast-mutating AIDS virus.
Each charity we feature has earned a four-star overall rating from Charity Navigator.
