How You Can Help

There are still many things you can do to help support the cause. Get informed. Tell a friend about the need for an HIV vaccine. Spread the word that vaccines are our best hope for ending AIDS.

By raising awareness and encouraging study participation, individuals and communities can contribute to the successful development of HIV vaccines. Although tens of thousands of people have already volunteered to take part in HIV vaccine studies, many more will be needed. A large HIV vaccine trial will require thousands of participants of all races/ethnicities, genders and socioeconomic backgrounds to ensure that the vaccine works in all populations. Therefore, community support is essential in efforts to break down stigma and myths about HIV vaccine research.

Developing an effective HIV vaccine depends upon individuals and communities informing, educating and supporting others.
