Missed today's #ChoiceAgenda webinar discussing 'discovery medicine' and the need to invest in #HIV vaccine research feat. experts from WRAIR African Alliance and HVTN? Don't worry, we got you covered. Check out the full recording and resources here! avac.org/event/just-wha…

'Meaningful engagement is an all-important focus area for Brilliant. We have the trust, the passion and the opportunity for true accountability of the science to the community'. tianjohnson of African Alliance shares the importance of community engagement in HIV vaccine research.

The #HIV vaccine work is about more than a vaccine, it's about our prosperity as Africans and about the people we'll leave behind. Our work to find a vaccine must be fuelled by collective determination. #BRILLIANT

.tianjohnson of African Alliance highlights how efforts of decolonizing public health need to be implemented in the search for an HIV vaccine, 'We need to center our responses in African reality'.

Betty Mwesigwa of Makerere University Walter Reed Project shares the work of the Brilliant Consortium, an African-led consortium evaluating vaccine strategies to contribute to an effective African vaccine against HIV. Check out more about the Brilliant Consortium here! #HVAD africanalliance.org.za/brilliant-cons…

Sandhya Vasan of WRAIR explains the concept of experimental medicine using HIV vaccine clinical trials. “We don’t think this is necessarily going to be a homerun in the first shot, but we’re using it to test this novel concept.”

AVAC HVTN Unlike longer vaccine #efficacy trials, experimental trials can test whether a concept will work much faster. This doesn't mean that researchers skip safety steps to save time, Vasan cautions. #HVAD .
