HIV Vaccine Trials Network

We are the world’s largest publicly-funded international collaboration focused on the development of HIV prevention.

To date, the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN) has conducted the majority of the published, presented, or ongoing clinical trials of preventive HIV vaccines worldwide. In the process, we have gained tremendous experience in administering an innovative global scientific organization, which combines the intellectual robustness and creativity of academia with the focus and infrastructure of industry.

One unique advantage of our network experience is that, having done so many studies, we can now look across the results from multiple studies and draw conclusions about vaccine methods and schedules that are worth pursuing versus those that are not as promising. Unlike researchers who work on individual trials, we are able to capitalize on the knowledge gained from every study we undertake. By sharing these data with other researchers in the field, we help the entire HIV prevention effort move forward faster.

Community is at the heart of HIV vaccine research.

In a recent conversation tied to our documentary Ending HIV: The Journey to a Vaccine, Jarissa Greenard shared why trust, transparency, representation, and informed choice are essential to advancing HIV prevention research.

Jarissa is a Community Educator and Recruiter at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center HIV Vaccine Program, one of the clinical research sites in the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN). Through her work, she helps connect communities with research, ensuring people have the information, support, and dignity they deserve when considering participation in HIV vaccine trials.

The conversation also highlights an important truth: scientific progress depends on community partnership. That means acknowledging medical mistrust, engaging communities with honesty and accountability, making research more inclusive, and ensuring the people most affected by HIV are represented in the studies designed to help prevent it.

As Jarissa reminds us, participation is not about blind faith; it is about informed choice, and every volunteer, educator, advocate, and community partner helps move HIV vaccine research forward.

“Community is not separate from the science. It is part of the science.”
