Findings from this study, that includes UNC IGHID investigators suggest that both age and the degree of immune restoration after #HIVinfection play roles in how well vaccines work, and that extended #Antiretroviraltherapy may help overcome some of the immune challenges. #HIVresearch
In a milestone trial, UNC IGHID researchers have demonstrated that new vaccines can significantly boost T cells targeting the most vulnerable, conserved regions of HIV—areas considered key to effective immune control! Read more here tinyurl.com/4m6ssmks

June 5th marks the anniversary of the 1st official report of the AIDS epidemic in 1981 and commemorates HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day (#HLTSAD)!
Today is more than a day of remembrance. It's a reminder that we ensure that people living with HIV can age with dignity, access quality care, and remain visible in the future of #HIV.
In respects to #HLTSAD we wanted to highlight the National AIDS Memorial’s award-winning #AIDS oral history and film series “Surviving Voices," that shares the experiences of those who acquired HIV at birth or as young children and those who acquired the virus before the availability of effective treatment.

In recognizing May 19th as #APIHAAD, we wanted to share this well-designed infographic by @AIDSVu! The infographic reports that in 2021, the proportion of Asian people in the US who had ever been tested for #HIV was must lower than the national average (35%) - this highlights the the need for increased testing and prevention in #AANHPI communities.
May 19 is National Asian & Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. 🎗️ We recognize the impact of HIV on AANHPI communities and recommit to stopping the stigma that stands in the way of prevention and care. Check out this graphic from AidsVu to learn more!
