You may watch the conversation on HIV.gov’s FacebookExit Disclaimer and YouTubeExit Disclaimer pages, as well as on OIDP’s LinkedInExit Disclaimer page. The discussion will highlight federal World AIDS Day activities and emphasize the importance of reflecting upon those we’ve lost throughout the HIV epidemic.
HIV.gov also encourages our readers to stay up to date on activities, events, and other ways to recognize and participate in the global commemoration of World AIDS Day on December 1. This year’s federal theme, “World AIDS Day 35: Remember and Commit” urges us all to reflect upon those we’ve lost and celebrate the progress made in working toward ending the HIV epidemic.
World AIDS Day is truly a time when we come together and reflect upon not only those we’ve lost, but those living with HIV, and also our progress in HIV care, treatment, and prevention, and research.
