May 18th is HIV Vaccine Awareness Day. HIV Vaccine Awareness Day was established to promote:
- Research for a vaccine that prevents the transmission of the HIV virus.
- Address the current challenges associated with HIV/AIDS.
- Education about how preventative HIV vaccines can control the AIDS epidemic.
- Unveil the upside-down AIDS ribbon as a symbol of progress, and recognize the need for education.
As a sign of solidarity and to show your support for a preventative HIV vaccine, on May 18th wear your red AIDS ribbon upside down to form a "V" for vaccine.
