There are multiple lines of inquiry stemming from the discovery of potent, broadly neutralizing antibodies that have been isolated from HIV-infected individuals. This graphic from AVAC Report 2012 presents two pathways exploring the use of BNAbs as an HIV prevention tool.

AVAC Playbook 2012-2013: Progress toward global goals
AVAC first published its Playbook of global goals for ending AIDS in late 2011. This infographic from the AVAC Report 2012 builds on the objectives from 2011 and identifies five priorities for action in 2013.
HIV Prevention Research: Defining moments since 2010
Published in AVAC Report 2011, this timeline shows the HIV prevention scientific breakthroughs from July 2010 to Nov 2011, including the CAPRISA 004, iPrEx and Partners PrEP trials.
Many Opportunities for HIV Prevention
To end AIDS, we need HIV prevention options that are highly effective before, during and after exposure or infection. This graphic from AVAC Report 2011 lists some of these tools.
Priority Tools and Actions
This graphic from AVAC Report 2011 outlines the need to define, evaluate and implement combination prevention in every community affected by HIV. The boxes identifies some of the key strategies and actions needed to make this a reality.
AVAC Playbook 2012
AVAC Playbook 2012 includes AVAC’s analysis of what the top strategic goals should be on a global level, and particularly in hard-hit countries, over the year 2012. It also includes AVAC’s organizational priorities for contributing to these goals.
Px Wire Volume 4, Issue 3
PxWire is AVAC’s quarterly update covering the latest in the field of biomedical HIV prevention research, implementation and advocacy. This edition of PxWire includes a feature on the new momentum to end the AIDS epidemic in light of the recent HPTN 052 results; an exploration of the progress in AIDS vaccine research and the need for evolving trial designs to accommodate new trial results such as those from HPTN 052 and iPrEx; and, as always, a centerspread with an updated timeline of biomedical HIV prevention efficacy trials and a world map showing where various strategies are being tested.
PxWire Volume 4, Issue 1
PxWire is AVAC’s quarterly update covering the latest in the field of biomedical HIV prevention research, implementation and advocacy. This issue of PxWire takes inventory of the regulatory, trial-planning and scientific agenda-setting steps that are being taken with respect to recent positive trial results. It reviews ongoing and proposed next steps that have been triggered by the Thai prime-boost AIDS vaccine trial, the CAPRISA 004 microbicide trial and the iPrEx trial of once-daily TDF/FTC for pre-exposure prophylaxis.
2010 AVAC Report: Turning the Page (Thai translation)
The AVAC 2010 Report, Turning the Page, highlights that the biomedical prevention field is entering the next chapter of its development. The past year brought the first evidence, from the Thai Prime-Boost trial, that an AIDS vaccine could prevent HIV in humans, as well as significant preclinical findings around potent, HIV-specific neutralizing antibodies.
At the same time, two microbicide trials testing the candidate PRO 2000 yielded seemingly different, but ultimately disappointing results, and the field now prepares for the release of results from CAPRISA 004, the first ARV-based microbicide effectiveness trial.
