CANFAR is the national charitable foundation created to raise awareness in order to generate funds for research into all aspects of HIV infection and AIDS CANFAR invested early in Dr. Frank Plummer of the UofM. Through his initial study of Nairobi prostitutes in 1988, Dr. Plummer discovered among them a group of women that did not contract AIDS. This discovery suggested that those women have natural immunity to the disease and that a vaccine could be eventually developed. In 2005, The Gates Foundation awarded $8.3 Million US to continue the studies and develop a potential vaccine.
