HIV Vaccine Trials Underway
Every 10 minutes, someone in the United States is infected with HIV. A preventive vaccine against HIV offers the best long-term hope to end this worldwide epidemic. Finding a safe and effective HIV vaccine that will protect people is a huge task.
We cannot do it without your help.
- We are currently seeking 1350 men who have sex with men to participate in a vaccine trial.
- You cannot become infected with HIV from the vaccines
- The study will take place in several cities in the United States. (Including here in Birmingham, Alabama.)
If you're interested in participating in or learning more about the HIV Vaccine Trials that are currently underway, please visit: http://www.hopetakesaction.org/

iCare Volunteer Spotlight - Anne Bet
Anne Bet is a bright star at both Birmingham AIDS Outreach and the 1917 Clinic at UAB. Several months ago Anne decided that
she wanted to give back to the community and volunteer with BAO. During our initial meeting with Anne, she informed us that she was
going to celebrate her upcoming birthday by hosting a fundraiser for Birmingham AIDS Outreach! Anne rented Sloss Furnace, ordered
catering and an amazing "Swing Band", and hosted one of the best Swing Dance Parties that the Magic City has seen! The event was a
wonderful fundraiser for Birmingham AIDS Outreach, where guests danced under the moon and stars at Sloss Furnace. Anne has been
volunteering since then, including working at Arty Party and helping with this year's Magic City AIDS Walk.
HIV research is where Anne's heart lies. She is currently working on her graduate degree, focusing on HIV research with the 1917 Clinic at UAB. Anne is also an amazing artist and has participated in several national conferences showing both her HIV research as well as her artwork about the virus
The iCare project, is a new endeavor launched by Birmingham AIDS Outreach. This exciting project serves to spotlight individuals who have supported BAO in many different ways including volunteering, attending community events, and attending fundraisers.
We want to hear your story! Tell us about your experiences being involved with BAO and why you share our mission, to enhance the lives of individuals who are living with HIV and AIDS. If you are interested in participating in the iCare project, please contact Jamie Whitehurst (jamie@birminghamaidsoutreach.org).
