The Science of HIV/AIDS Vaccines: An Introduction for Community Groups

AF-AIDS 2002 [Internet: http://archives.healthdev.net/af-aids Email: [email protected]]
ICASO is pleased to announce the release of its new Vaccine Primer. This is the second Primer in the ICASO Vaccine Primer series, and is entitled: "The Science of HIV/AIDS Vaccines: An Introduction for Community Groups" It is a companion report to the first in the Primer series, entitled: "Developing Vaccines for HIV and AIDS: An Introduction for Community Groups".

"The Science of HIV/AIDS Vaccines: An Introduction for Community Groups" is an easy to understand and concise introduction to the scientific and medical aspects of vaccine development. Highlights of the Primer are a description of the workings of the immune system, the HIV virus and its replication process and how vaccines work, both generally and specifically, with regard to a potential HIV/AIDS vaccine. The Primer also contains a full glossary, and guide to further websites and sources. "The Science of HIV/AIDS Vaccines: An Introduction for Community Groups" has been written in lay terms, so that it is accessible to a very broad audience, while still relaying very relevant information.

"The Science of HIV/AIDS Vaccines: An Introduction for Community Groups" is available in both English and French in the "Vaccines" section of ICASO's website, at http://www.icaso.org. The Spanish version of the report will be posted at the website as soon as it is available.

If you would like hard copies of this new report, or any of ICASO's reports, please email: [email protected].
