Abstract

Prevention, early detection, clinical follow-up, organisation and management are key elements in the chal-lenges to be addressed in the field of HIV infection in Spain. In addition to these aspects, research repre-sents a transversal element that is highly relevant for building up a comprehensive response against HIV infection.The evolution of HIV/AIDS research in Spain, major milestones and the development of scientific structures are analysed. An economic description of HIV/AIDS research funding in the context of the whole Spanish R&D system is made. In particular, the impact of the economic crisis and budget restrictions and their con-sequences on medical research are considered. Finally, different perspectives on the future of HIV/AIDS research in the global scientific situation are discussed.
