World AIDS Day 2021: End Inequities, End AIDS, End Pandemics

Held on December 1st of each year, World AIDS Day is an international day of awareness dedicated to issues impacting those living with AIDS and remembering those who passed away due to AIDS-related illnesses.

This year, the global theme for World AIDS Day is End Inequities. End AIDS. End Pandemics.

"World AIDS Day has always been important to me because it's a reminder to the general public and our government that HIV has not gone away. We have the opportunity to highlight that there is still a vital need to raise money, increase awareness, fight prejudice, and improve education." - Khafre Kujichagulia Abif, H-I-V.net Advocate

The history of HIV/AIDS advocacy
