AIDS DAY ......This year's theme is 'Hands Up for #HIV Prevention'

Every year there is a theme for World AIDS Day. This year's theme is 'Hands Up for #HIV Prevention' which "aims to emphasize the different aspects of HIV prevention and what it means for specific groups of people". Individual countries can also choose to interpret the themes in their own ways.

" Today, we commemorate World AIDS Day—we stand in solidarity with the 78 million people who have become infected with HIV and remember the 35 million who have died from AIDS-related illnesses since the first cases of HIV were reported. "

Michel Sidibé, Executive Director of UNAIDS, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations

World AIDS Day, designated on 1 December every year since 1988, is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pendamic  caused by the spread of  HIV infection, and mourning those who have died of the disease. Government and health officials, non-governmental organizations and individuals around the world observe the day, often with education on AIDS prevention and control.


The theme of this year's event is Hands up for HIV Prevention. The campaign looks at ways to improve prevention strategies, identifying key areas among specific groups of people who are vulnerable to transmission – adolescent girls and young women in particular.
