U.S. Military HIV Research Program

The U.S. Military HIV Research Program (USMHRP), HJF’s largest single program, is a tri-service research effort that strives to protect U.S. military personnel and serve the international community by reducing risk of HIV-1 infection.

Established in 1988, USMHRP continues to make progress by advancing candidate vaccines and increasing understanding of what will be required to develop a globally effective HIV vaccine. In the last few years, the program has successfully integrated care and treatment with the vaccine research.

Headed by Colonel Nelson L. Michael, M.D., Ph.D., USMHRP is centered at the Division of Retrovirology, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR). USMHRP works closely with HJF through a cooperative agreement.
