World AIDS Day is observed on December 1st annually to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS.
It shows support for people living with HIV and remembers those who have died from this illness.
It is a global initiative that encourages individuals, communities, and governments to take action in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
This day also explains the importance of testing, and understanding to reduce the stigma associated with HIV.
On December 1, 2024, WHO will join partners and communities to observe World AIDS Day under the theme, “Take the Rights Path: My Health, My Right!” This year, WHO is urging global leaders and citizens to advocate for the right to health by tackling the inequalities that obstruct progress toward ending AIDS.
World AIDS Day is crucial for raising awareness about HIV/AIDS, a condition that continues to impact millions worldwide. While significant progress has been made in prevention, treatment, and care, HIV remains a major public health challenge, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
The day emphasizes the importance of education, ensuring access to life-saving medications, and eliminating stigma and discrimination against those living with HIV. It also serves as a reminder that achieving the goal of zero new infections and zero discrimination requires collective effort.
