Fund Africa researchers to sustain fight against HIV despite aid cuts
Although nearly half of the 40.8 million people estimated to be living with HIV around the world in 2024 came from Africa, only a fraction of every research dollar spent globally went to African institutions.
For decades, Africa’s role in HIV research has been framed as that of a peripheral host, not driver, but that era is over, as showcased at the recently concluded International Aids Society (IAS) conference in Kigali.
African scientists are now playing a significant role in accelerating the global search for an effective HIV vaccine—designing clinical trials, and testing whether new treatments or vaccines are safe and effective in people.
