Project WISH

UIC Project WISH staff and faculty, along with representation from our Community Advisory Board, attended the HIV Vaccine Trial Network's (HVTN) Full Group Meeting last week in Washington, DC discussing scientific efforts in vaccinology, social/behavioral sciences, and immunology to address prevention needs for HIV and tuberculosis globally, and look at responses to COVID-19, as well.

Happy to be a part of the process to take care of the health of Chicagoans, Americans, and our global sisters and brothers. We are stronger together.

April 10 is National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, a day to raise awareness about the impact of HIV on young people. Together, we can help young people stay healthy by encouraging HIV testing, prevention, and treatment. http://bit.ly/3yidy0p

While the White House is talking up their work on trans rights and those of the LGBTQIA+ community, this country is experiencing unprecedented state-level efforts (430 bills) targeting trans and other LGBTQIA+ community members. Allies: speak up!
