Aids DayThe Time to Act Is Now
December 1 is World AIDS Day, an opportunity for people to work actively and collaboratively with partners around the world to raise awareness about HIV and help us move closer to the goal of an AIDS-free generation.
This year’s theme, “The Time to Act Is Now,” calls us to act with urgency to implement the latest high-impact, evidence-based HIV prevention strategies.
Around the world, World AIDS Day is being commemorated by millions of people. Today, we celebrate the incredible progress that has been made in the fight against the disease and the millions of lives that have been saved, honour those who have died in the struggle, and show our support for those people living with HIV. Today we also look ahead, with the commitment to end the epidemic by 2030.
We must stand together to bring an end to the worst epidemic of modern times. No organization or country can do this alone. Spread the word!
