An Umbrella of Care workshop on HIV/AIDS gave Salvation Army employees a basic overview of current HIV/AIDS treatments and therapies, information on the status of HIV vaccine development, and details of how Salvation Army clients and others can access HIV/AIDS care services. Many individuals who are served by the Salvation Army are also at risk for HIV. The Salvation Army event was also co-sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services and NIAID. NIAID officials gave an HIV Vaccine 101 presentation.
