🌍 World AIDS Day 2025 🌍
Today we unite under the theme: “Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response”.
HIV remains a global health challenge, but decades of progress show that prevention, treatment, and compassion save lives.
Millions worldwide live with HIV, and millions more have lost their lives to AIDS-related illnesses.
Stigma and misinformation still fuel fear and discrimination.
📊 Key facts from the World Health Organisation (WHO) state:
- HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) attacks the immune system, while AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is the most advanced stage of infection.
- Consistent access to testing, treatment, and prevention tools can stop transmission and help end AIDS by 2030.
- Communities and health systems must stay resilient despite disruptions in funding and services.
💡 Knowledge is power:
- Prevention works: safe practices, regular testing, and access to treatment protect individuals and communities.
- Education breaks myths: HIV ≠ AIDS, and people living with HIV can thrive with proper care.
- Ending stigma means standing in solidarity, respecting human rights, and supporting those affected.
❤️ Together, we can transform the response and end AIDS.
