AIDS

This year marks 30 years since the first World Aids Day. In that time, treatment and response has changed dramatically. But for many stigma is still a major issue. This year’s theme is ‘know your status’, encouraging people to talk about testing and treatment.
Many of us ‘long term survivors’ haven’t prepared for old age, we just didn’t think it would happen to us - we will all face new and unprecedented challenges
Our lives could have been so much easier, our grief so much less harrowing, had those who were – and are – responsible not spent decade after decade trying to cover up what they did and didn’t do
It 'remembers the boys we lost, and celebrates those lives that burned so brightly'.
'The red ribbon of World AIDS Day should be seen as a symbol of unity.'
It is critical that anyone at risk gets tested.
It's a high-level meeting to discuss how to end the pandemic.
'This type of stigmatising marketing campaign is unacceptable.'
"When we take our eyes off the ball, it starts to reverse."
