4. HIV trends, risk behaviours, social structural barriers and retention in HIV care among key populations in Nepal and the Asia-Pacific region

Some countries in the region have been particularly successful in reducing the incidence rate, but other countries in the region have experienced opposite scenarios. LÄS MER
5. Immune responses induced by immunization with HIV-1 DNA followed by HIV-modified vaccinia virus Ankara with or without recombinant GP140 in healthy Tanzanian individuals
Sammanfattning : A vaccine against HIV is widely considered the most effective and sustainable way of preventing new infections. We previously conducted a phase I/II clinical trial using multi-clade, multigene HIV-DNA priming and boosting with the recombinant modified vaccinia Ankara (HIV-MVA) virus among healthy Tanzanian volunteers (HIVIS03 trial).
