World AIDS Vaccine Day

This year, the different research groups working on HIV vaccine research in Uganda held coordinated events to commemorate World AIDS Vaccine Day. IAVI’s event was at Kigungu,a a fishing community near our trial site in Entebbe.

Kody and I worked up some ideas to paint on the side of a fishing boat, playing on the theme of protection – lifejackets for water, and condoms on land. The highlight of the day was a boat race, with life jackets and a small cash prize for the winners.

Picked up a few friends

Once I started taking pictures, everyone wanted a portrait (smiling or not).

The community lines up to receive free health services – voluntary counseling and testing for HIV, deworming, blood pressure checks, etc
