December 1 is World AIDS Day. The 2024 theme is Collective Action: Sustain and Accelerate HIV Progress.
World AIDS Day serves as an important reminder that we must remain steadfast in our commitment to prevent new HIV infections and provide essential services to all people living with HIV globally. In 2024, we will commemorate the 37th World AIDS Day with the theme "Collective Action: Sustain and Accelerate HIV Progress." To read more about this year's theme, please visit the HIV.gov blog<https://www.hiv.gov/blog>.

The first World AIDS Day took place in 1988, providing a platform to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS and honor the lives affected by the epidemic. There has been significant progress in addressing HIV and AIDS thanks to advancements in medical research, increased access to treatment and prevention, and a broader understanding of the virus. Follow the HIV.gov blog<https://www.hiv.gov/blog> to keep current on federal World AIDS Day activities.

Use the guide<https://www.hiv.gov/events/awareness-days/event-planning-guide> to learn about ways to recognize World AIDS Day. Use their Partner Social Media Toolkit<https://www.hiv.gov/events/awareness-days/world-aids-day> to promote World AIDS Day and related activities.
