Chuck Panozzo, Founder of Rock Band Styx, Joins GeoVax Labs, Inc. as an Advocate for Its HIV/AIDS Vaccine
Date:5/20/2009

ATLANTA, May 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GeoVax Labs, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GOVX), an Atlanta-based, publicly traded biopharmaceutical company developing human vaccines for diseases caused by HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and other infectious agents, announced today that Chuck Panozzo, founder of the internationally acclaimed rock band Styx, has joined the GeoVax Labs awareness campaign as an advocate of the Company's promising HIV/AIDS Vaccine, currently in Phase 2a human trials.

Mr. Panozzo met GeoVax's lead scientist, Dr. Harriet Robinson, at a recent awareness campaign in Ybor City, Tampa, Florida. He noted, "I was sincerely touched by her success, and determination in her pursuit to bring an end to the devastating AIDS pandemic. Having been diagnosed HIV positive in 1991, and having lost many relatives and friends to HIV/AIDS over the years, I found Dr. Robinson's quest for a vaccine hitting very close to home."

"Being involved in AIDS research and my commitment to equal rights, are two very important matters to me. Through my role with Styx, I have been given the unique opportunity to help make a difference. My music and artistic expressions have come full circle and has manifested in my involvement with pediatric AIDS. As a former teacher, I have realized how important education is and I found it to be a way to combat prejudice and intolerance; two things which we as society must fight to eradicate."

Mr. Panozzo concluded, "I am not a hero by any means! The real heroes are the researchers who have dedicated their lives to finding treatments for the common fellow men. The easier they make the protocols, the more people will benefit. World governments have not done a very good job in this regard, so it will be important that we remain vigilant to the cause. Presently, the cost of treatment is only affordable by the wealthy; a vaccine solution which can be accessed by all i
