The MOCHA Center and the Rochester Victory Alliance Observe HIV Vaccine Awareness Day

Bruce E. Smail — Tue, 15 May 2012 01:38:25 +0000

May 18th is HIV Vaccine Awareness Day (HVAD). This annual observance is a day to recognize the contributions of thousands of volunteers, community members, health professionals, scientists, and governments who are committed to working together to find an HIV vaccine. Results of a recent vaccine trial and related follow-up studies have provided a promising way forward in the search for an HIV vaccine. In addition, other biomedical HIV prevention strategies such as microbicides, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and treatment as prevention have also shown great promise. While no single prevention strategy will end HIV/AIDS, HVAD underscores the importance of developing a safe and effective vaccine – our best hope to ending the epidemic. As the scientific community forges ahead in pursuit of an HIV vaccine, a variety of prevention approaches, treatment of those who are already infected, as well as community support and engagement remain essential to controlling the virus.

In observance of HIV Vaccine Awareness Day, The MOCHA Center will join our bio-medical research partner on the Be The Generation Bridge Grant, The Rochester Victory Alliance, to present:

“Vaccine Awareness Day at Cathode Ray Nightclub” on Thursday, May 17, 2012 8:30pm—11:30pm at Cathode Ray, 25 Allen Street, Buffalo, NY 14202.

“Vaccine Awareness Day at Tilt Nightclub” on Friday, May 18, 2012 from 9:00pm—Midnight. Tilt Nightclub is located at 444 Central Avenue, Rochester, NY 14605.

Please refer to our Buffalo Press Release and Rochester Press Release for more information.
