Help Fund the Solution: Donate to the Emory CFAR
In only 25 years the AIDS pandemic has grown from a handful of diagnosed cases to become one of the greatest threats to human health in the history of our species. An AIDS quilt that had a block for each of the 25 million people who have already died from AIDS would be large enough to completely cover the states of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, and New Jersey with enough left over to blanket the city of Atlanta. And unless a way to halt the pandemic is developed, the “World AIDS Quilt” will continue to grow.
Your donation can help halt the pandemic.
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DONATION
Your donation to the Emory CFAR will be used to help provide seed grant funding for HIV/AIDS researchers. Seed grants make it possible for researchers to collect pilot data needed for inclusion in applications for major grant awards from the NIH and other research funding organizations.
These larger grants are used to develop or test experimental vaccines and microbicides, discover new antiretrovirals and other medications, design effective behavioral prevention interventions, and answer fundamental questions about what makes HIV so deadly and difficult to prevent or cure. Successful findings can be translated into HIV prevention and care practice for use around the world.
In short, your donation to the Emory CFAR will set in motion a process that can mitigate suffering and save countless lives.
