Today, May 18 is HIV Vaccine Awareness Day (HVAD). Over 40 million people worldwide live with HIV, this is why the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has initiated HVAD to educate people about the importance of preventative measures against HIV, especially focusing on the clinical trials needed to find a vaccine. This day is dedicated to spreading the word about HIV vaccines and it’s a day to acknowledge those people working to spread awareness everyday with their efforts against HIV.

An HIV vaccine when the only theory that explains AIDS is polio vaccine given to a million residents of the Belgian Congo at the time known as ZAIRE between 1957 - 1959!
How ironic!!
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it and don’t use our children as test subjects!!
The Source of the River
Inspired by The River by Mr. Edward Hooper
Many years of righteous research and wondrous words!
The river of tears from Africa, must be followed to its source.
Medical knowledge will be gained. Then we can use full force,
To fight AIDS, which started in the Congo. We know man is ambitious.
Polio had struck his kids, his hero. Here drink the monkey. It is delicious.
Kids get to test vaccinations. Can such sadness be resolved?
How could man foresee it! A new killer has evolved!
The source of the river has got to be explored. It is academic!
Vaccines in animal parts may have started an avoidable pandemic.
Ed Hooper took up the quest for truth. After careful thought, I agree.
If we do not believe that truth is worth striving for, we will cease to be.
