World AIDS Day was first observed on December 1, 1988, making it the first-ever global health day. It was created by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations General Assembly to raise awareness about the HIV/AIDS pandemic and to remember those who have died from the disease.
The day is also an opportunity to show support for those living with HIV and to promote efforts to prevent new infections, improve access to testing and treatment, and reduce the stigma associated with the disease.
World AIDS Day aims to achieve the following objectives:
Raise awareness: The day seeks to raise public awareness about the ongoing HIV/AIDS pandemic, its causes, and the need for continued efforts to prevent new infections, improve access to testing and treatment, and combat stigma and discrimination.
Remember the fallen: The day serves as an opportunity to remember and honor those who have died from AIDS-related illnesses and to recognize the impact of the disease on individuals, families, and communities around the world.
