Africa is home to the highest number of people living with AIDS and is the epicenter of the global epidemic. GAIA VF is involved in setting up a field trial site for the GAIA (not for profit, globally relevant) HIV vaccine. In the meantime, GAIA VF has established a “Prevention Now!” campaign in Mali. GAIA VF believes that active, ongoing collaboration with West African physicians and support for clinical activities in the region will improve the health of West African children and their parents, and foster the development of the type of regional knowledge base and level of care that is needed to pursue ethical implementation of HIV care and future HIV vaccine trials in the region.
