HIV Prevention Research & Development in South Africa June 2015 South Africa has a long history of HIV prevention research and continues to play a leading role in developing and implementing a range of HIV prevention research. South African researchers, research sites and thousands of volunteers have participated these endeavors. Such research ensures that potential products are tested in hard-hit populations where new strategies are urgently needed. These same populations can benefit from interventions that show efficacy and are licensed for use. The map below and the table on the following pages lists all biomedical HIV prevention studies recently completed, currently ongoing or planned in the country. As the graphic illustrates, there are approximately 19 ongoing trials taking place in 12 different locations in South Africa. For information on each trial and the research organizations leading on them, please visit the HIV Prevention Research & Development Database (PxRD) www.avac.org/pxrd.
