May 18th is HIV Vaccine Awareness Day, created to recognize the thousands of volunteers, community members, health professionals, and scientists who are working together to find a safe and effective HIV vaccine.
In a statement to commemorate the day, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, outlines some of the amazing vaccine research happening now and concludes, "Vaccines historically have been the single most important tool for controlling epidemics. With an ongoing commitment to HIV vaccine research, we have the potential to radically change the trajectory of the HIV/AIDS pandemic." (Lee en Español)
