World AIDS Day is held on December 1st each year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate the people who have died.
The first World AIDS Day was held in 1988 and it was the first ever global health day.

Why is World AIDS Day Important?
Globally an estimated 34 million people have HIV. More than 35 million people have died from the virus, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in history.
Today, many scientific advances have been made in HIV treatment, there are laws to protect people living with HIV and we understand so much more about the virus. Though despite this, people do not know the facts about how to protect themselves and others from HIV, and stigma and discrimination remain a reality for many people living with HIV.
World AIDS Day reminds us that HIV has not gone away – there is still a vital need to raise money, increase awareness, fight stigma and improve education.
