The HIV/AIDS pandemic continues to spread and an AIDS vaccine is urgently needed. Regional alliances and international collaborations can foster the development and evaluation of the next generation of AIDS vaccine candidates. The importance of coordinating and harmonizing efforts across regional alliances has become abundantly clear. We recently formed the AIDS Vaccine for Asia Network (AVAN) to help facilitate the development of a regional AIDS vaccine strategy that accelerates research and development of an AIDS vaccine through government advocacy, improved coordination, and harmonization of research; develops clinical trial and manufacturing capacity; supports ethical and regulatory frameworks; and ensures community participation.
艾滋病/艾滋病毒疫情仍在蔓延，急需艾滋病疫苗。区域联盟和国际合作可以促进下一代艾滋病疫苗候选物的开发和评估。协调和统一区域联盟工作的重要性已变得非常明显。我们最近成立了亚洲艾滋病疫苗网络（AVAN），以帮助制定区域艾滋病疫苗战略，通过政府倡导、改进协调和统一研究、开发临床试验和制造能力、支持伦理和监管框架以及确保社区参与，加速艾滋病疫苗的研发。
