HIV / AIDS Affects Everyone.  Right now, 1 out of every 300 people in the United States has HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. There is no cure for AIDS, and there is no vaccine to prevent HIV. A vaccine to prevent HIV infection is our best hope to end the AIDS epidemic. You have the power to support the search for a safe and effective preventive HIV vaccine! HIV/AIDS affects everyone.
