🔬 24 Hours to Save AIDS Research
September 16 | 11:00 ET to September 17 | 11:00 ET

For more than four decades, federally funded HIV/AIDS research has been a cornerstone of public health—fueling discoveries in prevention and treatment that have saved tens of millions of lives worldwide.

Today, that progress is at risk. Unprecedented funding cuts and project terminations threaten to undermine decades of scientific achievement and slow the momentum toward ending the HIV epidemic.

On September 16, join scientists, researchers, and advocates from around the globe as we:
✔️ Highlight the breakthroughs made possible by sustained investment in HIV research
✔️ Share what we stand to lose if support falters
✔️ Come together as a community to strengthen the future of public health science

This is a moment to stand up for science, protect the gains of the past, and secure the future of HIV/AIDS research.

👉 Register at www.saveaidsresearch.org, participate, and help us spread the word. Together, we can ensure that progress continues!
