In 2005, 13 new trials of preventive AIDS vaccine candidates began in 9 countries around the world. Two of these involved vaccine candidates that entered Phase II trials, an intermediate stage of clinical evaluation. India, China, and Rwanda started their first AIDS vaccine trials last year and South Africa began that country's first Phase II AIDS vaccine trial. Several of these newly initiated trials involved novel vaccination strategies, including prime-boost regimens where two candidates are administered separately to try to improve the immune responses induced.
