<p>Whilst the Ross Fund is not directly focused on HIV and AIDS, the UK continues
to invest in research on HIV and AIDS. This includes research into understanding the
structural drivers that can increase HIV (including gender inequality, stigma and
limited livelihood opportunities), HIV prevention technologies (such as microbicides
and vaccines) and studies to identify cost-effective ways to deliver HIV services.</p><p
/> <p>The Ross Fund will target infectious diseases including malaria, diseases with
epidemic potential, neglected tropical diseases which affect over a billion people
globally, and antimicrobial resistance which poses a substantial and growing threat
to global health. The goal of the Ross fund is to develop, test and deliver a range
of new products (including vaccines, drugs and diagnostics) to help combat these diseases
in developing countries.</p><br />
