FAQs
Short answers for organizers, schools, media, and organizations who want to make the most of 1 December
General What is World HIV Day? Tap to open answer
World HIV Day is a campaign hub for 1 December. We urge the global community to reclaim the day as World HIV Day — AIDS was our past, HIV is our present, and our future can be a world without HIV through science, human rights, and community. Our focus is themes, assets, event guides, and impact — not clinical manuals or daily news.
General How is this different from World AIDS Day? Tap to open answer
1 December remains the global observance founded in 1988 and coordinated with UNAIDS and WHO. World HIV Day uses that shared moment as a practical toolkit for organizers — to reclaim language around HIV, reduce stigma, and turn the day into measurable campaigns.
Campaign What does “Lets End HIV” mean? Tap to open answer
It is a call to end the epidemic by combining science with respect for human rights and by celebrating diversity — not by relying on fear. On 1 December we invite organizations, schools, media, and communities to commit to creating a world without HIV.
Events How do I organize an event on 1 December? Tap to open answer
Use the event guide: lock your audience, core message, timeline, and metrics before you design posters. Download ready-to-use media, keep language stigma-free, and report results within seven days.
Media Where can I download campaign assets? Tap to open answer
Open Media & Tools for copy-ready posts, file checklists, and language guidance. When the official annual theme is published by UNAIDS, drop that line into the placeholders.
Scope Does this site provide HIV testing instructions? Tap to open answer
No. We do not publish individual testing manuals or daily news. If your event includes a service point, partner clinics own clinical processes. Organizers should point people to services and measure access — never store test results here.
