Every year on December 1st, the world unites to commemorate World AIDS Day. This annual event serves as a reminder of the global struggle to end HIV-related stigma, an opportunity to honor those who have been lost, and a rallying cry to continue working toward a day when HIV is no longer a public health threat. In 2023, HIV.gov marks the 35th commemoration of this important day with the theme “World AIDS Day 35: Remember and Commit”.
 

According to UNAIDS.org, the world can end AIDS, with communities leading the way. The UNAIDS World AIDS Day theme this year is "LET COMMUNITIES LEAD". Organizations of communities living with, at risk of, or affected by HIV are the frontline of progress in the HIV response. Communities connect people with person-centered public health services, build trust, innovate, monitor implementation of policies and services, and hold providers accountable.
