This paper is a revised version of a paper prepared for "Putting third First: Critical Legal Issues and HIV/AIDS," an official satellite meeting of the XIII International AIDS Conference, in Durban, South Africa, July, 2000. "The purpose of this paper is to review legal, ethical, and human rights challenges in HIV vaccine research, and to identify actions that need to occur in order to overcome these challenges." It specifically speaks to the challenges arising in the context of HIV preventive vaccine research in developing countries and not to the clinical research in developing countries nor issues concerned with the legal and ethical aspects of HIV vaccine research in industrialized countries. This, with the next two papers, are discussion papers and meant to be starting points for more serious discussions. Recommended for academic research libraries.
