Virus (HIV) The HIV Controllers Study is a collaboration among
scientists, clinicians, health care providers, AIDS support
organizations, and patients themselves, who together seek to
define the genetic basis of the ability to control HIV without
medications. The main performance sites are the Massachusetts
General Hospital, The Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT,
Cambridge MA, Harvard Medical School, and The Ragon Institute of
MGH, MIT, and Harvard. Acute HIV Infection: Implications for
Vaccine Design is a detailed and integrated study of HIV-1
pathogenesis to identify the correlates of protective immunity
and to guide the rational design of HIV-1 vaccines. The overall
goal is to identify genomic regions within HIV-1 that are
fundamental to a protective antiviral immune r
