Today's HIV Vaccine Research Lunch

Today was the first of a series of educational lunch events organized by ACTION (AIDS Clinical Trials Information and Orientation Network. Predictably, I forgot to take pictures until everyone started leaving, but I managed to snap a few.

Shown in the picture to the left are Diane Johnson and Kymone Freeman. Diane is a community educator with the Vaccine Research Center. Kymone is one of the organizers of the Black Luv Fest which takes place this Sunday starting at noon at 4th and Penn Ave, NW. (HIV Testing will be available at the Black Luv Fest). More pictures from the event our on Flickr.

If you missed the lunch, a great place to learn about HIV Vaccine Research online is at www.bethegeneration.org. I'm proud to have volunteered for a vaccine research trial, and I hope everyone will check out www.bethegeneration.org and consider participating in a trial.

Next month, the lunch will focus on Microbicide Research. Join us! Click here to find out more
