NIH Statement on HIV Vaccine Awareness Day 2023

Today, 19 May 2023, marks the 26th observance of HIV Vaccine Awareness Day. The National Institutes of Health applauds the efforts of the collaborative global community of scientists, advocates, study participants, study staff, and funders enabling unprecedented levels of innovation and adaptation in the pursuit of a highly effective HIV vaccine. HIV continues to pose formidable challenges to vaccine development due to its ability to mutate rapidly and hide in “reservoirs” that the immune system cannot reach. These unique attributes have compelled scientists to apply cutting-edge tools of immunology and vaccinology to HIV, while maintaining a nimble research network capable of reacting quickly as new discoveries are made
