We are supporting HIV/AIDS work in 39 developing countries. We are also working with UNAIDS and other UN agencies to develop a more co-ordinated and intensified global response. We are funding research into development of new methods of protection against HIV, such as microbicides and an HIV/AIDS vaccine.
