South African (SA) researchers have made both national and global contributions to HIV prevention and treatment. Research conducted in SA has contributed markedly to improved survival in HIV-infected infants, children and adults. The translation of clinical research into practice has enabled the curtailment of paediatric HIV in SA. Along with international collaborators, SA has made pivotal contributions to biomedical prevention modalities including medical male circumcision and oral and topical microbicides, and is undertaking pivotal HIV vaccine research. Research into the structural and psychosocial drivers of HIV infection will be critical for sustaining biomedical interventions, and necessary to end AIDS.
南非（SA）的研究人员在 HIV 预防和治疗方面做出了国内外的贡献。在 SA 进行的研究显著提高了 HIV 感染婴儿、儿童和成人的生存率。临床研究的转化为 SA 的儿科 HIV 防治工作带来了显著的改善。SA 与国际合作伙伴一起，对包括医学男性包皮环切术和口服及局部杀微生物剂在内的生物医学预防方法做出了重大贡献，并正在进行 HIV 疫苗的关键性研究。对 HIV 感染的结构和心理社会驱动因素的研究对于维持生物医学干预措施至关重要，也是终结艾滋病的必要条件。
