The World Health Organization (WHO)has set DECEMBER 1 as "WORLD AIDS DAY" to help raise awareness and show support for people living with HIV. With the theme: ENDING THE HIV EPIDEMICE: EQUITABLE ACCESS, EVERYONE'S VOICE: higlights the urgents need to end the inequalities that drive AIDSand other PANDEMICS around the world. Today is dedicated to raising awareness uniting the world against HIV and AIDS, and commemorating those who have died from AIDS-related illnesses. The widely-known symbol for this day is the red color worn year-round to show their solidarity. The color red symbolizes passion and its relationship with blood; conveying not only anger but love. This day also goes to those that have experienced discrimination and have felt isolated.
Breaking the stigma and presumptions against HIV and AIDS is a long way ahead of us, but showing our support is a simple yet powerful movement. Remember that you deserve the right to be human and to be in a community where acceptance is unconditional.
