Around forty million people are living with HIV throughout the world - and that number increases in every region every day.

World AIDS Day, December 1st, is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV and AIDS. This year, it's up to you, me and us to stop the spread of HIV and end prejudice.

What can we do?

HIV is increasing in every region in the world. Yet it is a preventable disease.

You, me, us - we CAN stop the spread of HIV and end prejudice.

Here are some things you can do:

Break the silence - Challenge ignorance and prejudice: wear a red ribbon, speak out or educate others.

Turning the Tide against HIV/AIDS


“There are only two possible responses to suffering on this scale. We can turn our eyes away in resignation and despair, or we can take decisive, historic action to turn the tide against this disease….”
—President George W. Bush

President George W. Bush has made fighting the international HIV/AIDS pandemic a U.S. priority. The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS (Emergency Plan/PEPFAR) is the largest commitment ever by a single nation toward an international health initiative — a 5-year, $15 billion, multifaceted approach to combating the disease in more than 120 countries around the world. The strategy places a special emphasis on 15 focus nations in Africa, the Caribbean, and Asia that represent approximately half of the world’s infections.
