5. The accelerated approval regulation permits companies to seek approval of drugs for serious or life-threatening diseases when the drug provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over existing therapies. Under these procedures, the FDA may approve drugs based on surrogate endpoints, such as CD4+ cell counts that reasonably predict that a drug provides clinical benefit. The company is then required to confirm this clinical benefit through additional human studies to be completed after marketing approval. The accelerated approval regulation provides for removal of the drug from the market if further studies do not confirm the clinical benefit of the therapy.

On January 1, 1996 the U.N. launched UNAIDS, co-sponsored by six U.N. agencies to strengthen coordination and focus support for HIV/AIDS activities at the global and country levels. UNAIDS has established three mutually reinforcing roles: to be a major source of policy development and research; provide technical support; and be an advocate for comprehensive, multi-sectoral responses to the pandemic.
