Summary:   Recent work by AIDS epidemiologists and modelers in a report commissioned by IAVI suggests that even a modestly effective AIDS vaccine could slash the number of new infections over a decade by one-third. 'Estimating the Global Impact of an AIDS Vaccine', IAVI’s new study, confirms that without a significant change in prevention efforts, annual new infections could top ten million by 2030.
 
Description:   An AIDS vaccine would also have a tremendous positive effect on other areas of social and economic progress for millions of poor people living in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
