GeoVax Labs, Inc. Announces First Quarter Financial Results

ATLANTA, GA, May 05, 2010 GeoVax Labs, Inc. (OTCBB: GOVXD), a biotechnology company that

creates, develops and tests innovative HIV/AIDS vaccines, today announced its financial results for

the three months ended March 31, 2010.

GeoVax reported a net loss of $690,789 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to

$861,509 for the same period in 2009. Net losses were partially offset by grant revenues of

$1,338,560 and $710,155 for each period, respectively, related to the Company s grant from the

National Institutes of Health in support of its HIV/AIDS vaccine development activities. As of

March 31, 2010, the Company reported cash balances totaling $2,603,108.

GeoVax President and CEO Robert T. McNally, PhD, said, Our research is progressing as we

anticipated. Our preventative HIV vaccine candidate has completed Phase 1 clinical trials in

humans, and is currently in a Phase 2a clinical trial being conducted and funded by the HIV Vaccine

Trials Network (HVTN). Patient enrollment is proceeding well, and at the current rate, we expect

results of this trial to be ready in 2011.

The US Food and Drug Administration recently gave us permission to proceed with a Phase 1 clinical

trial for our therapeutic HIV vaccine candidate. This trial will focus on recently HIV- infected

individuals who started drug treatment during their first year of infection. The clinical trial

site is now preparing to initiate the enrollment of volunteers who meet the trial s criteria.

Dr. McNally concluded, Looking ahead, I foresee great things for GeoVax as an enterprise. Our

shareholders have approved a reverse stock split, which became effective on April 27, and as a

result our share price is now sufficient to make it possible for us to qualify to list our stock on

a major exchange. That will increase our visibility, which can often lead to greater liquidity.

Summarized financial information is attached. Further information concerning the Company s

financial position and results of operations are included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

About GeoVax Labs, Inc.

GeoVax is a biotechnology company developing human vaccines for diseases caused by HIV (Human

Immunodeficiency Virus that leads to AIDS) and other infectious agents. Our goals include

developing HIV/AIDS vaccines for global markets, manufacturing and testing these vaccines under

GMP/GLP conditions (FDA guidelines), conducting clinical trials for vaccine safety and

effectiveness, and obtaining regulatory approvals to move the product forward. All preventative

Phase 1 human clinical trials conducted to date tested various combinations and doses of our DNA

and MVA vaccines have demonstrated the ability to raise anti-HIV immune responses as well as for

their safety. Successful results from all Phase 1 testing supported the initiation of the first

Phase 2 testing. GeoVax s Phase 2 human trial began in January 2009 and will involve 225

participants at sites in the United States and South America. Recently the FDA granted permission

to proceed with a Phase 1 therapeutic trial for individuals infected with HIV. Long term, we expect

that GeoVax will grant manufacturing and distribution rights in several

global markets in return

for upfront fees, collaborative development agreements, and royalties on

sales and distribution revenues. Internal vaccine manufacturing and distribution will also be

considered by GeoVax. For more information, please visit www.geovax.com.
