World AIDS Day – Why It Matters and How You Can Help
December 1st marks World AIDS Day, a global initiative to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS, support those living with the virus, and honor the lives lost to AIDS-related illnesses. Established in 1988, it was the first-ever global health day and remains a vital opportunity to educate, inspire action, and fight stigma.
Why It Matters 
HIV/AIDS continues to affect millions worldwide, with marginalized communities—such as LGBTQ+ individuals, Black and Latinx populations, and low-income groups—bearing the greatest burden. Despite medical advancements, stigma and unequal access to care persist. World AIDS Day is a powerful reminder that we all play a role in advocating for health equity and supporting those impacted.
One Way to Celebrate
Wear Red and Educate: Encourage your workplace or community to wear red ribbons and share information about HIV prevention and care. Small acts can start big conversations and help dismantle stigma.
