HIV 101 Did you know that PPTNM's education department can be asked to do HIV 101 trainings in ANY of the major cities??? Well now you do! If this is something you're interested in email our education department at [email protected] Did you also know that today, May 18th is HIV Vaccine Awareness Day? We're coming at you hot with the trivia awareness. HIV Vaccine Awareness Day is observed every year on May 18 and commemorates former U.S. President Bill Clinton's 1997 declaration that, “only a truly effective, preventive HIV vaccine can limit and eventually eliminate the threat of AIDS.” It recognizes the many volunteers, community members, health professionals, and scientists working together to develop a vaccine to prevent HIV. It is also an opportunity to educate communities about the importance of preventive HIV vaccine research. A safe and effective preventive HIV vaccine would play an essential role in ensuring the end of the HIV pandemic. One prevention tool that has remained elusive is finding a vaccine against HIV. At the end of August 2021, Johnson & Johnson announced that an experimental HIV vaccine—a 15-year effort—offered no protection against HIV acquisition. However, there continues to be ongoing efforts to develop a vaccine against HIV. Moderna, Inc., is currently testing an HIV vaccine using the same messenger RNA vaccine technology that proved safe and effective against the coronavirus. A Phase 1 clinical trial began in November 2021.
