Description

The AIDS crisis is not over and HIV/AIDS continues to disproportionately affect minority communities, including African Americans. Underlying conditions such as higher rates of poverty and limited access to, or use of, health care may account for the high number of AIDS-related deaths. This brochure, written for African Americans, answers questions about HIV vaccine research.
