Hey there! 🌟 Did you know that every year on December 1st, people around the world come together to support those affected by HIV and AIDS? It’s called World AIDS Day. Let’s learn more about it!
What is World AIDS Day?
World AIDS Day started in 1988 and is all about raising awareness of HIV and AIDS. This year’s theme is “Take the Right Path: My Health, My Right!”. It reminds us that everyone deserves the right to good health.
Why is it Important?
As of 2023, nearly 39.9 million people around the world are living with HIV. That’s a lot of people! Even though we’ve made big steps in treating HIV, there are still many who need help. In some countries, the number of new HIV infections is going up.
Working Together to Make a Difference
Countries like China are playing a big role in fighting HIV and AIDS. They’ve made great progress in stopping the spread of the virus. By working together, we can help everyone get the care they need.
