In this episode, Mitchell Warren, Executive Director of the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, discusses the recent cancellation of the next round of HIV vaccine trials by the NIH and the relationship between behavioral HIV interventions and continued vaccine research. Mitchell will be co-chairing a satellite session at the International AIDS Conference in Mexico City with the Foundation's Dr. Judith Auerbach entitled "Confronting the 'Evidence' in Evidence-based HIV Prevention." For the latest information on evidence-based HIV prevention, be sure to read the Foundation's new Summary Report and look for a recording of the Mexico City satellite session on the sfaf.org policy page in mid-August. We'll also have podcast interviews and updates from Mexico City on the podcast web site during the International AIDS Conference.
