About Event
World AIDS Day is Sunday, December 1st this year. It starts with me.
There are numerous events and remembrance vigils throughout Queensland in the process of being planned. alongside our annual Buildings in Red project. All events will be listed on the Queensland World AIDS Day website www.qldworldaidsday.org.au
- Remembering and celebrating those we have lost from HIV/AIDS, and showing support for all those who live with HIV starts with me.
- Raising awareness of HIV and today’s increased testing, treatment and prevention options, making sure community, friends and family know how to stay free of HIV starts with me.
- Shining a light on HIV stigma and discrimination, and leading by example confronting ignorance, dispelling myths and misinformation about HIV, starts with me.
- While HIV still threatens the world today, we must take bold action against inequality, promote understanding and advocate for human and health rights. Change is more than a moment, it’s a movement that starts with me.
This World AIDS Day remember to: Wear a Ribbon this December 1st, attend an event or vigil near you if you can, and have a conversation or share a story about World AIDS Day with others, and what it means to you.
