News1 December 2011 December 1 is World AIDS Day
Every year on December 1, starting in 1988, the World Health Organization has observed World AIDS Day. Every year, more countries and public organizations take part in a range of events organized for this day. This day serves as a reminder of the necessity to halt the global spread of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The objective of this day dedicated to the struggle against AIDS is to raise global awareness about HIV/AIDS and to demonstrate international solidarity in the face of this epidemic. On this day, partners from the state and private sector are provided with the best opportunity to disseminate information on the status of the epidemic, and to lend their assistance to progress in the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, as well as treatment for patients in countries with a high infection rate and all across the world. The data provided by UNAIDS in its 2010 Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic shows that, according to experts, there were approximately 2.6 million new cases of HIV infection in 2009, which is almost 20% less than in 1999, when there were 3.1 million new cases. The report provides new evidence that investment in HIV prevent programs produces significant results in many countries with the highest infection rates. “We are breaking the trajectory of the AIDS epidemic with bold actions and smart decisions,” said Michel Sidibé, executive director of UNAIDS. “Investments in the AIDS response are paying off, but gains are fragile.” The main challenge for UNAIDS, Sidibé said, is to accelerate the progress of these gains. The Health and Development Foundation has been working actively for many years to develop and implement comprehensive programs in the field of public health, including HIV/AIDS prevention programs. We have been able to achieve significant results, thanks first of all to the experience, professionalism, and support of our partners. Together, we are doing very important work – we are helping people maintain their health and form a responsible attitude toward their health. Home
