Division of AIDS

Division of AIDS The Division of AIDS (DAIDS) was formed in 1986 to develop and implement the national research agenda to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Toward that end, the division supports a global research portfolio to advance biological knowledge of HIV/AIDS, its related co-infections, and co-morbidities. With the ultimate goal of creating an “AIDS-Free Generation,” the division develops and supports the infrastructure and biomedical research needed to: 1. halt the spread of HIV through the development of an effective vaccine and biomedical prevention strategies that are safe and desirable; 2. develop novel approaches for the treatment and cure of HIV infection; 3. treat and/or prevent HIV co-infections and co-morbidities of greatest significance; and 4. partner with scientific and community stakeholders to efficiently implement effective interventions.
