World AIDS Day

World AIDS Day is observed on the 1 December each year. The global movement is aimed at raising awareness about AIDS and HIV; celebrating progress in prevention, treatment and care, while also highlighting the need for further support.

The theme for this year is ‘take the rights path’, highlighting the importance of putting human rights at the centre – and the impact communities can have when at the forefront.

The Fast-Track Cities initiative aims to end the HIV epidemic by 2030 by eliminating HIV infections, preventing deaths and tackling HIV related stigma. Newham Council fully support the movement and want to ensure every Newham resident living with HIV gets the help they need, including access to testing.
