Description

Efforts are underway to develop a safe and effective vaccine to protect people from acquiring HIV ultimately reducing the number of new infections and ending the epidemic. However, the subject of vaccines remains contentious, and COVID-19 has heightened the conversation. There are multiple messages circulating both for and against vaccines and a growing number of skeptics appear to be making decisions about vaccines based on misinformation. This initiative will advance research on communication factors and strategies that will be crucial for successful public understanding, acceptance, and uptake of future vaccines that protect against HIV.
