CAPRISA is a health research organization designated as a UNAIDS Collaborating Centre for HIV Prevention Research. Its work encompasses HIV pathogenesis, prevention, and epidemiology, along with research into the links between tuberculosis and AIDS care. The centre pursues globally relevant projects that are locally responsive to health needs in South Africa. It also serves as a forum to engage with international leaders in HIV and TB research to stay informed about the latest scientific developments.

Based in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, at 719 Umbilo Road, CAPRISA was created in 2001 and formally established in 2002 under the NIH-funded CIPRA by five partner institutions: the University of KwaZulu-Natal, the University of Cape Town, the University of the Western Cape, the National Institute for Communicable Diseases, and Columbia University. The organization operates four main scientific programmes: HIV Pathogenesis and Vaccines, HIV and TB Treatment, Microbicides, and Prevention and Epidemiology. As a mid-sized research entity in the health research services sector, CAPRISA contributes to advances in HIV and TB prevention and treatment through collaborative, locally responsive research.
