Introduction of World AIDS Vaccine Day
As we all know, AIDS and HIV are a constant health concern in our society. There is currently no recognized vaccination that can be used to stop the spread of this lethal virus. Therefore, every year on May 18, the world commemorates AIDS vaccination day. The day is observed to honour the efforts of scientists around the world and healthcare professionals involved persistently to develop a vaccination against the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The day is also known as HIV Vaccine Awareness Day to raise awareness about the importance of HIV vaccinations in limiting the transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and AIDS.
History of World AIDS Vaccine Day
The inaugural World AIDS Vaccine Day was observed on May 18, 1998, throughout the world. The idea for HIV Vaccine Awareness Day came from a graduation speech given by former US President Bill Clinton in 1997 at Morgan State University (May 18). He had highlighted the vaccine's fundamental need in containing and eradicating the devastating illness. Clinton had underlined the need to leverage the use of research and technology to develop a vaccination that would improve patients' capacity to combat HIV and, therefore, safeguard the globe from the fatal grips of AIDS. Ever since, numerous groups have observed World AIDS Vaccine Day all around worldwide to restate and serve as a reminder about preventative measures, promote information about AIDS, motivate investigators, and secure the ordinary man's full involvement in this worthy endeavour. HIV is a severe worldwide public health concern, with an estimated 38 million people living with HIV by the end of 2019. With better accessibility to efficient HIV prevention, detection, therapy, and treatment, HIV infection has evolved into a manageable long term health disease, allowing individuals living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus to lead healthy and long lives. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases commemorate World AIDS Vaccine Day (NIAID). The day's organizational bodies are focused on raising awareness about HIV infection and emphasizing the critical need for the development of a vaccine against it.
