HIV Vaccine Awareness Day
May 18, 2007
Every May 18th is HIV Vaccine Awareness Day and communities around the world are coming together to provide a platform from which to speak, support, and educate one another about the value of HIV vaccine research, the commitment to find vaccines that work, and the advances that are being made in the field of HIV vaccine research. Currently, there is no vaccine for HIV, and HIV Vaccine Awareness Day provides us with an opportunity to stand together against the AIDS pandemic, by acknowledging and supporting the people and the progress we have made, so far, in the work for a vaccine to prevent HIV infection..
