Vaccine trials – where next?
Gus Cairns, 2013-10-16 22:30:00

New efficacy trials of HIV vaccines based on what has been learned in the RV144 vaccine trial in Thailand and the HVTN 505 trial in the US are going forward in heterosexual people in South Africa and will probably also take place in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Thailand, the 13th AIDS Vaccine conference heard last week in Barcelona. These large trials will not start until 2016 or 2017 but there are many more immediate, smaller trials of other vaccines happening that will largely measure immunogenicity (the capacity of a vaccine to stimulate an immune response).
