World AIDS Vaccine Day/HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

Hi all,

 

I hope you are all doing well. As some of you know, today is World AIDS Vaccine Day around the world and HIV Vaccine Awareness Day in the U.S. There have been major advances in HIV prevention research, and HIV vaccine research specifically in the past few years, creating a lot of excitement in the field as we mark 30 years since AIDS was first identified by CDC.

I wanted to pass on some of IAVI’s tweets for today in case anyone wants to retweet or repurpose them. Let me know if you all have any questions or anything to cross-promote.

Best,

Vince
