  **Important points about World AIDS Day **

  **Historical Significance**: World AIDS Day was first established in 1988 by the World Health Organization (WHO). It serves as a poignant reminder of the early days of the AIDS epidemic, when fear, stigma and discrimination were rampant. The World Health Organization is instrumental in AIDS prevention and awareness.

**Awareness and Education**: The primary objective of World AIDS Day is to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS, disseminate information about prevention, and increase understanding and compassion for those affected by the virus. Education is an important tool in preventing the spread of disease. For this purpose, various social service organizations and volunteer themselves have devoted themselves to this work. Information was disseminated preferably through social media.

**Solidarity**: On this day, communities, governments and organizations around the world come together to show support for people living with HIV and remember those who have lost their lives to AIDS-related illnesses. It is a day of unity and shared commitment to fight HIV and AIDS. The whole world seems to be working together in anticipation of this day.

**Challenges Remain**: Although significant progress has been made in the fight against HIV/AIDS, challenges remain. Stigma and discrimination are discouraging people from getting tested and getting life-saving treatment. In some areas, access to antiretroviral therapy is limited. In some places lack of modern tools, in some places lack of awareness. Even though people are fully aware, the laxity that is done sometimes are also the challenges facing the current situation.

**Prevention**: Prevention of new HIV infections is a top priority. Promoting safe sex practices, needle exchange programs, and pre-exposure prophylaxis are some strategies to reduce transmission rates. It is also a matter of necessity to do preliminary check-ups at the health center as a precaution.

**Treatment and Support**: Medical advances have made it possible for people living with HIV to lead healthy lives. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) plays an important role in suppressing the virus, but access to treatment varies globally. World AIDS Day emphasizes the importance of equal access to healthcare and support services to enable diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, as well as support for the proper placement of victims in society.

**Global Impact**: HIV/AIDS affects millions of people worldwide. While progress is being made, it is a global concern and efforts are underway to combat the disease. Various efforts are being made to address this global concern everywhere. The disease appears to have been largely controlled, but it has seen an alarming resurgence in ongoing efforts around the world.

**Red Ribbon Symbol**: The red ribbon is a universal symbol of solidarity with people living with HIV/AIDS. It is usually worn or displayed on World AIDS Day to show support and raise awareness.

**Advocacy and Fundraising**: Many organizations and individuals use this day to advocate for policy changes, raise funds for research and support services, and organize events to raise HIV awareness.

**Hope for the Future**: World AIDS Day reminds us that progress is possible and that with continued global cooperation and dedication we can strive for a world where HIV and AIDS can no longer pose a threat to public health.
