title: New guidelines on ethical considerations in HIV preventive vaccine research.
abstract: In March 2000, UNAIDS released annotated guidance points on the ethical considerations of HIV vaccine research (the "Guidance Document"). The guidance points, reproduced at the end of the article, are the product of two years' consultation and debate around the world, yet key questions remain unsettled. This article reviews the process, the outcomes, and the challenges that remain.
