Brig. Gen Edward H. Bailey Commanding General at United States Army Medical Research, was guest speaker for Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) HIV Vaccine Awareness Day for the early careers investigators showcase. HIV Vaccine Awareness Day, observed annually on May 18, serves as a time for the global HIV community to recognize and honor the contributions of healthcare professionals, scientists, volunteers, international partners, and others dedicated to developing a safe and effective HIV vaccine. This day highlights the importance of ongoing research and the collective efforts required to combat HIV/AIDS.
It also provides an opportunity to reflect on the historic RV144 vaccine trial results, which demonstrated, for the first time, that an HIV vaccine could offer at least partial protection (31.2%) against HIV infection. Moreover, it allows us to recommit to continuing the critical research to find the next life-saving countermeasure to end HIV. May 13th 2024, (U.S. Army photo released by Tyra Breaux)
