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:

  • Condoms
  • Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)
  • Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)

Here are some specific actions that you can take to help end AIDS:

  • Get tested for HIV.
  • Talk to your sexual health clinic doctor about HIV treatment and prevention.
  • Support organisations that are working to end AIDS.
  • Spread awareness about HIV/AIDS.
  • Challenge stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV/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.

For a few hours every summer, the guesswork stops. You can look around and simply know. This is what Pride does that nothing else does. The question worth asking is what happens when it ends.

You and your people are in the same spaces every day. The same supermarkets, the same offices, the same commutes. The problem was never finding each other. It was knowing each other. And that is a different problem entirely.

You Don't Need Words to Come Out: Harvey Milk's Legacy and Visible Pride in 2026

"Every gay person must come out," Harvey Milk said in 1978. He believed visibility would destroy myths and change the world.

He was right. Nearly 50 years later, coming out looks different. It's not always a speech or a grand announcement. Sometimes visibility is as quiet as wearing a bracelet.
