Robert George, Regional Director, Denver Colorado AIDS Project
- “World AIDS Day is a special time of year when we can remember those
we have lost and celebrate those who live. It is a time for us to talk
about HIV with our partners, friends, and family so that we can fight
the stigma of HIV and make our community aware of the importance of
getting tested and knowing your status.”
World AIDS Day is held on 1 December each year and is an opportunity for
people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support
for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died.
World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day and the first one
was held in 1988.
