About World AIDS Day

Each year, December 1 marks World AIDS Day, when activists around the world come together to raise awareness of the global HIV epidemic, to fight prejudice, and to improve HIV education and HIV prevention.

This year’s theme is “universal access and human rights” – an important reminder that much of the HIV positive population, including young people; GLBTQ people; those affected by poverty; and marginalized groups like sex workers and injecting drug users, still face unequal access to resources, services, and medication. And AIDS is the leading cause of death among women around the world.

From November 30 through December 6, a coalition including Advocates for Youth, Center for Health and Gender Equity (CHANGE), Sexuality Information Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), and Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, are hosting a World AIDS Day blog-a-thon  on Amplify as a part of the global movement of young people fighting to end the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Share your personal reflections about how HIV and AIDS have affected you, post your perspective on the policies and issues that affect the health of young people around the world, or upload pictures or video exploring the experience of HIV and AIDS during the first 10 years of the new millennium.

All new blog-a-thon posts will be featured on this page - and many will be spotlighted on the Amplify home page as well. 

It's easy to get involved on World AIDS Day:
Young people ages 15-24 account for 45 percent of new HIV infections around the world.  Let's make sure our voices are heard this World AIDS Day.
