摘要
Despite extraordinary scientific advances over more than twenty-five years, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) continues to exact an enormous toll worldwide. Given the limitations of current HIV treatment and prevention interventions and the financial and logistical impediments to delivering them, new and potentially transforming interventions are needed if the HIV/AIDS pandemic is to be significantly slowed. Serious scientific challenges remain in the realm of developing potentially curative therapies and a safe and effective HIV vaccine, and in developing, assessing, and validating other new prevention modalities. Substantial funding of the research enterprise must be maintained. [Health Aff (Millwood). 2009;28(6):1629-41]
