For patients who have completed a vaccination series with the recombinant bivalent or quadrivalent vaccines, many experts would give an additional full series of the 9-valent recombinant vaccine (CIII). December 1 is World AIDS Day December 1 marks the 30th anniversary of World AIDS Day, a day set aside each year to highlight worldwide efforts to combat HIV/AIDS, to show support for those living with HIV, and to remember those who have died from the infection.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2017, worldwide approximately 36.9 million people were living with HIV, an estimated 940,000 people died from AIDS-related illnesses, and about 1.8 million people were newly infected with HIV.
