Research

MicroscopeHIV/AIDS research is underway by many Federal agencies and their partners in laboratories and agencies throughout the nation. Research ranges from examining the basic biology of HIV to development of new and better therapies to treat HIV disease. Research is also underway to find a vaccine to prevent HIV infection.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) with HHS represents the largest public investment in AIDS research in the world. The NIH Office of AIDS Research plans and coordinates all AIDS-related research across NIH, thus allowing NIH to pursue a united research front against the global AIDS epidemic.
