Today's World AIDS Day

Human Immunodeficiency Virus is transmissible through bodily fluids such as blood. With time, HIV causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Disease, which is not communicable.

HIV positive individuals need special health care and support from their community to live free from discrimination.

We need to understand HIV and what it means to be HIV positive to properly support the individuals living with the virus. Through support, we can educate how to prevent HIV transmission.

On 1 December World AIDS Day is held to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and strengthen our support for HIV positive people and those who are affected by AIDS.

HIV positive people need to be empowered in society to strengthen community spirit, feel included and educate on HIV and AIDS.

The Red Ribbon is the global symbol for solidarity with HIV-positive people and those living with AIDS.
