Every year on 1 December 2023 we observe World Aids Day. This day is mainly celebrated against AIDS/HIV and also spreading awareness about AIDS and this day is also for those who ever facing and living with HIV.
This day World AIDS Day marks an important occasion to raise awareness about the history and myths surrounding the disease, highlight its continued prevalence, and emphasize the importance of prevention through education and access to healthcare.
In August 1988, James W. Bunn and Thomas Netter informed all people about the AIDS Global program. The program was held by the WHO (World Health Organization). As we look back on the history of HIV/AIDS, we recognize the significant progress that has been made in understanding and treating the disease. However, there is still work to be done in combating the stigma and discrimination that often accompanies it.
Myths about HIV/AIDS continue to circulate, despite scientific evidence to the contrary. It is important to dispel these myths and provide accurate information about the disease, its transmission, and its treatment because many people think that diseases are only spread by physical contact but nothing like that. HIV is not only spread by physical contact even if you are touched and use a towel, sizer, nail cuter, and whatever they use so you can be infected by this disease.
Prevention is crucial in the fight against HIV/AIDS. This includes education about safe sex practices, access to testing and treatment, and the promotion of harm reduction strategies such as needle exchange programs. By working together to raise awareness and prioritize prevention, it’s also important to spread knowledge among people so that, they can be aware of HIV education. We can continue to make progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS
So, that people can take serious about World AIDS Day.
