	Legacy Project "I know that in a 24-hour period, 14,000 new HIV infections happen around the world. That's about 580 people an hour. I know that human beings want to change their behavior and they can't often. The only hope of ending this epidemic from my perspective is a biomedical intervention."

	Boris, New York "Everyone can become a leader if they talk to two friends about HIV vaccine research."
	Lisa, Atlanta "I am part of the process to create an HIV vaccine because it is our destiny as a community to be empowered to participate in answering our own questions."
