Sustaining hiv vaccine Communications and Outreach

Observance Day Blurbs:

• 
  Support HIV vaccine research. Learn how at bethegeneration.nih.gov
  
• 
  Be the generation to end AIDS by supporting HIV vaccine research.
  

• 
  There is no vaccine for HIV or cure for AIDS. Vaccine research is essential in the fight against AIDS, along with treatment, care, and prevention, including research into other prevention methods—like microbicides and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
  
• 
  A vaccine is essential to stop the HIV epidemic, along with other prevention tools and increased access to treatment. We need the whole toolbox to stop this disease.
  
• 
  Each and every study brings us closer to finding an effective vaccine by providing scientists with important insights into how the body responds to different vaccine candidates, delivery methods and the virus itself.
  

• 
  Recent advances in vaccine, microbicide and pre-exposure prophylaxis research would not have been possible without the help and commitment of tens of thousands of volunteers.
  
• 
  More volunteers will be needed in order for researchers to continue to make strides in the search for an effective HIV vaccine that works for everyone.
  
• 
  HIV/AIDS disproportionately impacts African Americans, Hispanics, and men who have sex with other men; volunteers of all races and ethnicities are needed to participate in studies, to ensure that any future vaccines are safe and effective in everyone.
  

• 
  HIV vaccines do not contain the actual HIV virus, so they cannot cause anyone to become infected with HIV.
  

• 
  Everyone can do something to support HIV vaccine research—learn more about it, talk about it with your family and friends, support volunteers, or join a community advisory board. Learn how at www.bethegeneration.nih.gov

TIP:
Are you planning to host an event for an HIV/AIDS observance day? Reaching out to a variety of traditional and social media outlets is a great way to earn coverage and build community participation and support. Many local and regional newspapers have free social calendars, where you can promote events and provide contact and reservation information. Leverage social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and foursquare to promote an upcoming activity and connect with other community groups to support your efforts. The more visible your event can be, the more successful the turnout.
