AVAC Infographics for CROI 2026

Going to CROI? AVAC’s up-to-date infographics — on the research & development pipeline, prevention options, and the impact of US funding cuts — are available here for use in conference presentations. We constantly update these graphics, so check back for updates. The latest version of the deck will be available here.

Years Ahead in HIV Prevention Research: Time to Market

This timeline shows the potential time points when the next-generation of HIV prevention options might find their way into new programs.

HIV Vaccine Clinical Trials Pipeline

This graphic summarizes the state of HIV vaccine research, detailing the different immunological approaches in clinical trials, the specific candidates being studied, and the collaborative networks of funders and developers working toward an effective vaccine.

People’s Research Agenda 2025 Update Summary Table

The People’s Research Agenda sets out a people-centered framework for equitable and accelerated R&D and product introduction. It tracks the science, shows where investments align—or fail to align—with community-defined priorities, and spotlights critical gaps in the pipeline of prevention options needed to meet the diverse realities of all populations.

The HIV Prevention Pipeline

This graphic shows currently available options for HIV prevention, newly approved and recommended treatment, and those in development.

Trials & Projects Halted by USAID Funding Suspension

The stop-work orders have disrupted USAID-supported HIV prevention research, halting critical investigations in vaccine and next-generation PrEP strategies.

The abrupt suspension of these trials also raises serious ethical concerns. Stopping trials mid-course undermines trust in research, jeopardizes community engagement, and abandons participants who volunteer their bodies for scientific discovery. It will take years to build back this critical infrastructure—for HIV research and beyond—as well as the community partnership and trust needed to ensure smooth and ethical research.
