WORLD AIDS DAY PROGRAMME


 

World AIDS Day is marked on December 1 every year. This presents a chance for people all around the globe to work together to combat the deadly HIV virus, to help individuals who have acquired the virus, and to mourn those who have passed away from an AIDS-related disease. The global HIV response is in danger even though HIV remains a severe public health issue that affects millions of people worldwide. The current halt in HIV objective progress and resource exhaustion put many lives at risk. Due to a multitude of issues, including division, injustice, and disregard for human rights, HIV became and is a worldwide health epidemic.

We can work together to overcome the injustices that lead to the AIDS pandemic. UNAIDS makes a plea to us all on World AIDS Day 2022 to confront the injustices that impede the effort to eradicate AIDS. "Equalize" is a topic that encourages action. It is a call to action for all of us to follow the tried-and-true strategies needed to eliminate inequalities and support the fight against AIDS.
