World AIDS Day

​Every year on December 1, people all across the world commemorate World AIDS Day to support individuals who are HIV-positive and to memorialize those who have passed away from AIDS-related diseases. Reminding individuals and governments that HIV still exists, World AIDS Day is as important today as it has ever been. In order to raise knowledge of the effects of HIV on people's lives, eliminate stigma and discrimination, and enhance the quality of life for those living with HIV, there is still an urgent need for more financing for the AIDS response.
