World AIDS Day is observed on December 1st each year to raise awareness about the AIDS pandemic caused by HIV infection. It’s also a day to remember those who have died from AIDS-related illnesses.
The theme for the year 2023 is “Let Communities Lead”. The theme focuses on the need for social communities to come together to:
- Stop misinformation
- Spread awareness
- Fight stigma
- Support patients.
World AIDS Day has been observed since 1988. The day recognizes the tens of millions of people living with HIV/AIDS and the tens of millions who have died from AIDS-related causes.
This annual event serves as a reminder of the global struggle to end HIV-related stigma, an opportunity to honor those we have lost, and a rallying cry to commit to working toward a day when HIV is no longer a public health threat.
