This forum is focusing on the current status of a vaccine to prevent AIDS. We will be answering questions such as:
- What do scientists mean by basic, preclinical and clinical research?
- What is a vaccine?
- What are the strategies involved in designing a vaccine to prevent AIDS?
- How does a vaccine to prevent AIDS get developed, tested and licensed?
- What is the role of the NIH and the community in this process?
