PROJECT EMBRACE - BRAZOS ABIERTOS
Project Embrace/Brazos Abiertos is committed to including African Americans and Latinos in HIV vaccine research as participants, researchers, educators and witnesses of the process.
African Americans and Latinos are the two groups most heavily affected by HIV/AIDS in the United States, but we are vastly under-represented in HIV vaccine trials. Our participation in these studies is critical in order to understand how these vaccines will work for us & our communities.
In the early stages of this study, we interviewed a diverse group of African Americans and Latinos. They shared their concerns about HIV vaccine research and suggested ways to improve recruitment strategies for our communities. We put their recommendations into action, developing and measuring a new advertising campaign.
Data from Project Embrace is still being analyzed, and we are committed to broadly disseminating those results as they become available.
