About World Aids Day 2022
World AIDS Day is observed every year on December 1. This is an occasion for people across the globe to come together and express solidarity in the battle against HIV, to support those living with HIV-AIDS and to remember those who have passed away from AIDS related illness.
HIV-AIDS continues to be a global health concern with millions of people affected worldwide. Though, HIV treatment has seen scientific advancements, and legislation protecting those living with HIV is in place, many people who live with the disease still experience stigma and discrimination since the public is unaware of the realities regarding how to protect oneself and others.
The theme for 2022 is ” EQUALIZE” which emphasises the NEED to END INEQUALITIES that is holding back the progress in ending AIDS. Let us all WORK TOGETHER to end the stigma.
