World AIDS Day is observed on December 1st every year to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and to remember those who have died from the disease. The theme for 2023 is "Ending AIDS Together."
AIDS is a chronic disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV attacks the body's immune system, making it difficult to fight off infections. AIDS is not a death sentence, but it is a serious condition that requires lifelong treatment.
Since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, more than 36 million people have died from AIDS-related illnesses. Today, an estimated 38 million people are living with HIV worldwide.
The good news is that there have been significant advances in HIV treatment in recent years. With early diagnosis and treatment, people with HIV can live long and healthy lives.
There are also a number of prevention methods available, including:
Here are some specific actions that you can take to help end AIDS:
World AIDS Day is an important opportunity to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and to encourage people to get tested, treated, and prevent further spread of the disease. By working together, we can end AIDS as a global health threat.
Major corporations are dismantling DEI programmes and pulling Pride sponsorships worldwide. The Pride flags are coming down, the funding is disappearing, and the silence is deafening. But here's what they've forgotten: you can't legislate us out of existence. When they want us invisible, visibility becomes resistance.
They banned rainbow crosswalks in Texas. LGBTQ+ people responded by painting rainbows across Houston—decentralised, ungovernable, unstoppable. When governments try to erase us from public spaces, personal visibility becomes political resistance. Every small act of defiance becomes collective strength.
Look around any public space today. How many of us can you spot? For decades, that question held life-or-death stakes. This World AIDS Day, we remember the fierce, defiant love that kept our community alive when no one else would—and why visibility still matters today.
