National HIV Vaccine Awareness Day on May 18th is a day to learn about the efforts to create a vaccine that can prevent HIV, a virus that makes people very sick by attacking their immune system. This day is important because it reminds us of the scientists working hard to find a cure and to thank those who have volunteered in studies to help make a vaccine possible. It also encourages everyone to understand more about HIV and how a vaccine could help protect people from getting sick in the future.
