Since the first World AIDS Day in 1988, we have made significant progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Thanks to effective treatment, people living with HIV can now live long and healthy lives. However, the epidemic is not over. Millions of people around the world are still living with HIV, and many more are at risk of contracting the virus. This year, we remember the pivotal impact communities have had in shaping global health, the HIV response, and ending the spread. #testing #treatment #stigma #empowercommunities #donate #WorldAIDSDay #RememberAndCommit #LetCommunitiesLead #EndHIV #HIVAwareness #HIVPrevention #OmandaHealthTech #omandahealthtechapp

World AIDS Day 2023 - Let Communities Lead! Do you know that in 2022 about 39 million worldwide were living with HIV? Nearly 1.3 million people acquired HIV in 2022. Even though HIV/AIDS is a severe condition, it is preventable and treatable. Stigma and discrimination are major obstacles to AIDS testing, prevention, and treatment. So every one of us must work together to create a world where AIDS patients are treated with respect and compassion. It is high time to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and the importance of prevention and testing. #AdvancedVeinGroup #worldaidsday #hivawareness #endstigma #knowyourstatus #preventhiv #fightaids #communityleadership #gettested #stopdiscrimination #compassionforaids #raiseawareness #togetheragainstaids #supportingpatients #healthforall #endtheepidemic

Each year on December 1st, World AIDS Day, the Office of Health Policy and AIDS Funding hosts a Wreath Laying Ceremony in Washington Square Park at the site of the HIV/AIDS monument. Since the beginning of the epidemic in the early 1980s, more than 1.2 million people have been diagnosed with AIDS, and 1 in 8 people in the U.S. are living with HIV and are unaware of their status. HIV affects us all and the virus is non-discriminatory. To reduce stigma, it is vital to address the misconceptions surrounding HIV by recognizing that it is a preventable, treatable, and manageable disease, rather than a death sentence. Together we can end HIV transmission by coming together to raise awareness and encourage each other to get tested and treated. #bouncetozero #getmoorevideo

❓ What are the latest data telling us about HIV among people who inject drugs? On the eve of World AIDS Day, we are showcasing the latest data on HIV among people who inject drugs and exploring how countries are performing on global health sector objectives to tackle HIV/AIDS. The data underscore growing concerns that a potential rise in stimulant injecting and delayed HIV diagnoses could jeopardise the slow, but constant, progress seen in recent years in HIV prevention and treatment in this population. 👉 Find out more: https://ow.ly/vyPt50QcVOU

World AIDS Day is held globally every year on December 1st. It is a day to honour those that have died from AIDS-related illnesses around the world but also to show support for people living with HIV and to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS within our community. 🌍❤️ #EndTheStigma #WorldAIDSDay #WAD2023 Although HIV diagnoses remain low in NSW for our mob, we are still being diagnosed with gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis, which can lead to increased risk of infertility, long-term reproductive issues, and further spread of sexually transmitted infections in our communities. This pinpoints the need for better prevention strategies, including screening. We can all play a role in Ending HIV (and STIs) through Prevention, Testing, Treatment and reducing Stigma – see: https://bit.ly/3N9vFgN If you have any ideas on how you’d like to promote HIV (or STI) awareness within your ACCHO or community, check out the NACCHO grants – up to $1000 to help deliver your idea, be it a screening blitz, health promotion activity or in-staff training: https://bit.ly/3RmZo8s

#WorldAIDSDay is a global movement to unite people in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Did you know HIV medicine can make your viral load so low that a test can’t even detect it? Plus, if you have an undetectable viral load, you are unable to transmit HIV. There’s still a lot about HIV and AIDs that isn’t common knowledge – let’s keep sharing information and raising awareness!

HIV remains a major global public health issue, having claimed 40.4 million (32.9–51.3 million) lives so far with ongoing transmission in all countries globally. On World AIDS Day 2023 we should remember to “Let communities lead.” We need to support and empower communities to take on leadership roles, rather than just celebrating the accomplishments of individual communities. Since 2007, HPPI has supported vulnerable and high-risk populations to achieve control of HIV and AIDS. The HIV/AIDS interventions of HPPI have demonstrated a gross reduction of new HIV infections in recent years. 16,190 people were tested for HIV through HPPI’s interventions in this year. #WorldAIDSDay #AIDSDAY #WorldAIDSDAY2023 #AIDS

Ever wonder what #healthequity means? Watch this to find a concrete example of how CDC in Guatemala is implementing the vision of bringing life saving HIV treatment to hard to reach populations in Guatemala.
In Quiché, Guatemala—a rural and predominantly Indigenous community—over 2,000 people are living with HIV. Located 4 to 6 hours away, HIV treatment and care was once inaccessible for many community members. CDC worked with local leaders to bring high-quality, culturally appropriate services closer to home. Since then: ✅ no patients have missed their treatment ✅ viral suppression has increased ✅ no one has died from HIV Watch this video to witness the power of this partnership to bridge gaps in healthcare access and save lives.

Gone are the days of round-the-clock pill regimens, with improvements in prevention and treatment meaning that people living with HIV can now live as long as everyone else. The 38% reduction in new HIV diagnoses since 2010 can be put down, in part, to the medical community’s continued commitment to innovation. But with current approaches still struggling to reach those disproportionately affected by HIV – including low-income individuals and women – the relentless push for a breakthrough remains vital.
