History
SAAVI was established in 1999 by the South African government as a project of the South African Medical Research Council.

SAAVI frequently partners with the HIV Vaccine Trials Network.
Funding problems
In June 2009, SAAVI announced that it was testing a new HIV vaccine candidate but suspended all further vaccine development indefinitely due to lack of funds.
