GeoVax Labs, Inc., a clinical stage biotechnology company, develops human vaccines for diseases caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other infectious agents. Its DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and MVA (Modified Vaccinia Ankara) vaccines are in Phase II human clinical trial by the HIV Vaccine Trials Network. The company was founded in 2001 and is based in Atlanta, Georgia.

GeoVax's AIDS (HIV-1) Vaccines, initially developed at Emory University by Dr. Harriet Robinson, currently GeoVax's Senior Vice President of Research and Development, in collaboration with researchers at the NIAID (NIH) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), are recombinant DNA and MVA vaccines. Our focus is on developing AIDS vaccines comprising the major HIV-1 subtypes (A, B and C). These vaccines can be used alone or in combination depending on a local infection. Our first priority is subtype B which is most common in North America, the European Union, Japan and Australia.
