Living with a partner with HIV

The first day of December every year for the last three decades has been designated as World AIDS Day. Apart from raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic and mourning for those who died of the disease since 1988, World AIDS Day has also done a great deal in fundraising for research and reducing taboo in the subject of this sexually transmitted infection.

World AIDS Day is one of eight official global public health campaigns marked by the World Health Organization (WHO). Having achieved the global target of halting and reversing the spread of HIV, world leaders and scientists have pledged to “fast-track” the elimination of HIV to “End AIDS by 2030.”
