Problem

Currently, around 40 million people are living with HIV/AIDS around the world. Every day, there are 14,000 new infections, 95 percent in the developing world. A vaccine is the best hope for stopping AIDS, and trials of vaccine candidates are necessary to find a safe and effective vaccine. Access to technology is essential for sharing data and conducting vaccine trials, however this technology is hard to come by in the rural areas where we work.

The Gift
