Developing new products for HIV prevention in children
Resources to Advance Pediatrics and HIV Prevention Science (RAPPS): Preclinical Gap- Filling Services
This study is working to create and test new treatments and prevention methods for HIV, especially for children, by bringing together ideas from schools and companies to help make these products available and effective.

What this research studies
This research aims to provide essential resources and support for the development of new therapeutic and preventive products targeting HIV, particularly for pediatric populations. It focuses on filling gaps in preclinical product development, which includes creating and testing candidate products that arise from academic and private sector collaborations. By advancing promising products into clinical testing, this initiative seeks to enhance the effectiveness of HIV prevention strategies, including those that may also address co-infections and incorporate contraceptive methods.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are children and adolescents at risk for HIV or those living with HIV, particularly in communities with high prevalence rates.
Not a fit: Patients who are not at risk for HIV or who are not within the pediatric age group may not receive benefits from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to innovative HIV prevention products specifically designed for children, improving their health outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in developing HIV prevention strategies, but this approach focuses specifically on pediatric needs, making it a novel initiative.
