Alliance for Microbicide Development

The Alliance for Microbicide Development (AMD) was a prominent non-profit organization that operated from 1998 to 2010, focusing on the advancement of microbicides for HIV prevention. As a multisectoral coalition, it brought together researchers, policymakers, and advocacy groups to streamline the development and regulatory pathways for topical prevention technologies. The Alliance was instrumental in tracking the global microbicide pipeline and advocating for increased public and private investment in women-controlled HIV prevention methods. Headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland, the organization played a pivotal role in the early coordination of the microbicide field before dissolving as the landscape shifted toward integrated biomedical prevention strategies.
