The IAVI Report's Final Edition: A Legacy of Progress and Challenges
The year 2026 marks a significant turning point for the IAVI Report, as it announces its final publication. This decision comes as a result of budget constraints affecting numerous global public health non-profit organizations. The IAVI Report, a long-standing publication, has been a beacon of information on HIV prevention research and public health initiatives.
Since its inception 30 years ago, the IAVI Report has undergone a remarkable transformation. It started as a newsletter focused on IAVI's activities, evolved into a full-color journal covering HIV science and prevention research, and eventually became an online-only publication. Its sister journal, VAX, was a valuable resource for clinical trial sites and communities, providing insights into HIV research and the science behind other infectious diseases.
The final article of the IAVI Report serves as a tribute to its rich history and the dedication of its contributors. It reflects on the optimism, determination, and passion that have driven progress in HIV prevention and public health. Despite the publication's end, the impact of the IAVI Report and its sister journals will continue to inspire and inform future generations.
