HIV/AIDS Vaccine Clinical Trials and Women Living With HIV/AIDS in ThailandResearchers: Professor Pranee Liamputtong in collaboration with Dr Niyada Kiatying-Angsulee and Ms Niphattra Haritavorn, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand. Research Partners: Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand SummaryIt is argued that clinical trials are a crucial
step in providing the safety and efficacy of diagnostic and therapeutics
in human beings. However, numerous studies have shown that HIV/AIDS
clinical trials can be unethical and produce problems to those
involved in the trials. Women are particularly vulnerable in clinical

Specifically, the following research questions are being addressed:
