Approaches to Community Participation in Preventive HIV Vaccine
During the 7th International Conference on HIV and Drug Therapy in Glasgow, November 14-18 2004, the Vaccine Working Group of the EATG and the UK-CAB held a workshop on ‘Approaches to Community Participation in Preventive HIV Vaccine Trials” [all presentations are available for download]
The workshop provided an introduction to the need for community development and participation in this area of research, by demostrating approaches taken to identify, reach, recruit and maintain communities for the conduct of clinical trials in European countries, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. More than 50 advocates from all over the world discussed future strategies for improving community participation and lobbying actions at the national and European level.

Financial support
The UK-CAB receives unrestricted funding from some pharmaceutical companies towards the direct costs of holding four meetings each year. This funding supports the travel and accommodation costs for members to attend from outside London, plus the cost of catering.
The content, programme and agenda for meetings is decided by the UK-CAB steering group in consultation with the wider membership. Funding is unconnected to meeting content.
We believe that manufacturers who currently develop and market medicines have a responsibility to actively engage with advocacy organisations and that HIV positive people and their advocates should be able to directly question manufacturers about the safety and efficacy of their products and proposals for future research.
