December 1 is World AIDS Day, a day to unite with others worldwide to prevent HIV, support people living with HIV, and remember those who have lost their lives to an HIV-related illness. The National Library of Medicine, NIH and the CDC have a wide variety of materials and resources to help raise awareness and combat stigma in your communities. This year’s theme, Putting Ourselves to the Test: Achieving Equity to End HIV, emphasizes accountability and action and echoes the Administration’s dedication to ending HIV/AIDS as a public health threat worldwide by addressing health disparities in communities disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and mpox. The theme also highlights the importance of HIV testing.
