U.S. Military HIV Research Program

About

The U.S. Military HIV Research Program (MHRP) is a leading scientific initiative based at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, dedicated to protecting U.S. service members and advancing global health through comprehensive HIV research. MHRP conducts vaccine development, cure and remission studies, diagnostics, epidemiology, and emerging infectious disease investigations, leveraging an international network of research sites across Africa and Asia and partnerships with U.S. and host‑country institutions. By integrating prevention and treatment strategies within the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) framework, MHRP delivers rigorous, ethically grounded clinical research that reduces new infections, informs public‑health policy, and builds trusted relationships with the communities it serves.
