World AIDS Vaccine Day is observed every year on which date?

Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option D: 18 May. World AIDS Vaccine Day is observed globally on 18 May every year. The day is also known as HIV Vaccine Awareness Day. It highlights the urgent need for an effective HIV vaccine to prevent AIDS. The day recognises contributions of scientists, healthcare workers, researchers, and volunteers. The observance promotes HIV vaccine research and global public health awareness. It was inspired by a speech delivered by U.S. President Bill Clinton in 1997 at Morgan State University. The first official observance of this day took place in 1998. The day aims to reduce stigma and strengthen global cooperation in HIV prevention. HIV is a highly mutating virus that directly attacks the human immune system. Approximately 40 million people are living with HIV globally as per international estimates. More than 1 million new HIV infections occur annually worldwide. HIV vaccine development is difficult due to multiple strains and immune evasion by the virus. Current research includes bNAbs, mRNA vaccines, T-cell immunity, and mosaic vaccine design. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) improves survival but does not fully eliminate HIV infection.
