- Abstract
- There has been steady progress over the past 3 decades in both HIV treatment and prevention based on clinical trials leading to major breakthroughs in pediatric and maternal HIV treatment; and HIV prevention among at-risk women and adolescent females.

However, there are unique aspects to the conduct of HIV clinical trials in perinatal, pediatric, adolescent and at risk populations including regulatory/ethical considerations; counseling approaches; assessing safety, dose finding and pharmacokinetics of new HIV therapeutics in these populations; which require specific training and practicum experiences. The MU-JHU research collaboration/MU-JHU care has over 30 years' experience conducting HIV perinatal and pediatric treatment trials; and more recently, HIV prevention trials among at-risk adolescent and young women. Thus MU-JHU is well positioned to be a centre of excellence to train other ugandan researchers/research teams to carry out HIV clinical trials in these populations; and to further strengthen its own research capacity, with doctoral level behavioral and biostatistics expertise.

The specific aims of this D43 application are: 1) offer short term (
