Since 1988, World AIDS Day has been observed on December 1 to honour those who have passed away from the disease and to raise awareness of the AIDS pandemic brought on by the spread of HIV. “Rock the Ribbon” is this year’s World AIDS Day theme. The National AIDS Trust is dedicated to preventing new HIV infections, protecting the rights of HIV-positive individuals, and combating HIV-related stigma and discrimination. Equalize is the theme for this year’s World AIDS Day, which is centred on a specific topic. UNAIDS is urging each of us to address the disparities that impede progress toward AIDS elimination. The theme for this year joins a growing list of issues that World AIDS Day has raised awareness of worldwide.
World AIDS Day was the first international day dedicated to global health, established in 1988.Governments, civil society, and UN agencies collaborate annually to raise awareness of HIV-related issues. There are activities to raise awareness all over the world. The universal symbol of HIV awareness, support, and solidarity is the red ribbon, which is worn by many. HIV-positive individuals speak out on issues that matter to them. In order to support the communities, they serve and raise funds, HIV-positive groups and other civil society organizations involved in the AIDS response mobilize. The epidemic’s current state is brought to light by events. People and governments alike are reminded every year on World AIDS Day that HIV is still a problem. The AIDS response still requires significant additional funding to end stigma and discrimination, raise awareness of the impact of HIV on people’s lives, and improve the quality of life of HIV-positive individuals.
Unprotected sexual activity, or any sexual activity that penetrates without the use of a condom, can transmit HIV.HIV can spread from an HIV-infected man to a woman or another man, or from an infected woman to a man, through anal and vaginal contact.
There are four main factors that influence the likelihood of contracting the disease through unprotected sexual activity: the type of sexual activity, the amount of virus in the infected partner’s blood or sexual secretions (semen, vaginal, or cervical secretions), and the presence of any other sexually transmitted diseases or genital lesions in either partner. Because young girls are physiologically more vulnerable, age may also be a factor.
Edu world in order to increase community support for AIDS sufferers and foster greater openness about the disease, raise awareness. To ensure equitable access to the most cutting-edge HIV science, ensure technology exchange between localities and between the Global South and the North. The “Equalize” message can be used and adapted by communities in any way they see fit to emphasize the particular injustices they face and call for the necessary redress.
