7.5 What are the main needs in the field of research and development?
It is vital to promote technological innovation to develop microbicides, new generations of drugs, and a preventive vaccine.
Therefore, substantially more money must be allocated to research, especially by the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries. In addition, partnerships between the public sector and private companies should be developed to promote faster development of new drugs for children with HIV. Stakeholders should also be involved in the planning and conduct of clinical trials for HIV prevention so as to avoid the controversies these trials often generate. Finally, systems and agreements that guarantee wide and equitable access to treatment products for HIV and HIV-related diseases must be put into place by governments, civil society, and the private sector.
