This World AIDS Day, we celebrate the progress communities, health workers, and advocates continue to make in advancing HIV prevention, testing, and treatment. Across the world, innovation and resilience are shaping a stronger, more inclusive HIV response.
This year’s theme, “Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response” calls for more than awareness. It demands stronger health systems, community-led action, and equitable access to lifesaving services. It reminds us that lasting progress requires confronting the barriers that keep people from care: stigma, misinformation, weak infrastructure, and service gaps.
Today, we honour the courage of people living with HIV, celebrate the health workers driving change, and recommit ourselves to building systems that can withstand disruption and deliver quality care for everyone.
Ending AIDS is possible but only if we act together, invest boldly, and prioritise those most at risk.
