Community Voices

Welcome to the Community Voices section of the Be The Generation Web site. Here you will find personal stories from people who work in the area of HIV Vaccine research.

National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

	Reverend Doris, Chicago "If we can have faith and support vaccine trials we might be able to stop people from becoming HIV positive."
	Boris, New York "With a successful vaccine we can stop HIV."
	Lisa, Atlanta "It is our job to participate in finding a way to protect our community."
	Sterling, Washington DC "If an efficacious vaccine is going to be found that works for everyone, then everyone has to get involved with the trials."
	Legacy Project "I know that in a 24-hour period, 14,000 new HIV infections happen around the world. That's about 580 people an hour. I know that human beings want to change their behavior and they can't often. The only hope of ending this epidemic from my perspective is a biomedical intervention."

World AIDS Day

	Alfredo, Boston "The challenges are how to get to the person and deliver the message in a way that is respectful...that means that I need to consider culture differences... and see where the person is and meet them where they are and not push them."
	Boris, New York "Everyone can become a leader if they talk to two friends about HIV vaccine research."
	Lisa, Atlanta "I am part of the process to create an HIV vaccine because it is our destiny as a community to be empowered to participate in answering our own questions."
	Reverend Doris, Chicago "At first I didn't understand HIV vaccine research. Now that I do I want others to know how important it is that together we discover a vaccine against HIV."
	Sterling, Washington DC "I'm trying to get my younger brother to volunteer for a clinical trial."
