December 1st is globally recognized as World AIDS Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about HIV/AIDS, supporting individuals living with the disease, and commemorating those who have lost their lives to AIDS-related illnesses.
The first World AIDS Day was observed in 1988 by the World Health Organization (WHO), marking the beginning of global efforts to combat the disease. Since then, it has served as an essential platform for advocating for HIV prevention, testing, and treatment. Many countries are actively investing in research, aiming to end AIDS by 2030, in line with global health goals.
Each year, World AIDS Day focuses on a unique theme, often addressing issues such as prevention, access to treatment, and healthcare equality. In 2024, the theme is "Let Communities Lead", emphasizing the role of community leadership in driving efforts to end the epidemic.
This event continues to inspire global action and foster solidarity in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
