Here are some common questions about the science behind HIV research and how you can participate.
Over the last 40 years, HIV has taken millions of lives of loved ones around the world. And while there are effective treatments, there is still no cure. Nearly 35,000 people got HIV in the US last year alone. And 13% of those who have it, don’t even know it.
Throughout history, science has shown that vaccines are one of the most important tools to prevent infectious diseases. That’s why finding a safe and effective vaccine to prevent HIV is a priority. But we can’t do it without the help of volunteers.
Every day, thousands of people acquire HIV. However, thanks to all these years of research and all the breakthroughs in COVID-19, we are closer to finding a vaccine to fight against HIV.
History has shown us that when it comes to a pandemic, no one is safe until everyone is safe. Now science needs more people,—just like you—to get involved to ensure that all kinds of people are represented in research.

The researchers who are part of the Red Ribbon Registry are members of the Natinoal Institutes of Health (NIH(/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID)’s research networks:HIV Vaccine Trials Network, HIV Prevention Network, AIDS Clinical Trials Group and International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trial Network
Volunteers are crucial to finding safe, effective vaccines.
Over 40-years of work-research have advanced scientific understanding of this challenging virus.
Our studies are conduced at over 40 research sites across the US.
