I used to keep up a lengthy list of links here; since then, the three sites below have done a great job of keeping up with the news (and sometimes making it, in the case of IAVI and AVAC). I recommend each of them as places to start; each can provide a college course's worth of reading. The email list below is a way to keep up on AIDS vaccine news as well.
An e-mail list:
www.yahoogroups.com/group/vactivism is a discussion and news e-mail list on preventive HIV vaccines. Follow the instructions on the page to sign up for the list.
Useful sites:
www.iavi.org: The International AIDS Vaccine Initiative's website includes news, downloadable issues of the IAVI Report, a quarterly (or semi-quarterly) newsletter on HIV vaccine research, and information on how to subscribe to the IAVI Report. A leaning towards the scientific and technical compared to the other two sites here.
www.avac.org: The AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition has an excellent array of original reports, readings and links; for AIDS vaccine policy issues, this should be your first stop.
http://www.thebody.org/treat/vaccines.html has links to HIV vaccine news, with an emphasis on news articles and advocate updates on key issues. Not updated super frequently, but still useful.
For more information about the e-mail list, these links, or HIV vaccine research in general, please feel free to e-mail me at joseph_wright@student.hms.harvard.edu. Also, if you know of a good link that I don't have here, let me know.
