World AIDS Day 2006

Take Action Today

Around forty million people are living with HIV throughout the world - and that number increases in every region every day. In the UK alone, more than 60,000 people are living with HIV and more than 7,000 more are diagnosed every year. Ignorance and prejudice are fuelling the spread of a preventable disease.

World AIDS Day, 1 December is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV and AIDS. This year, it's up to you, me and us to stop the spread of HIV and end prejudice.
This starts by taking action.

You: Wear a red ribbon
Me: Talk to people
Us: Get involved in events

World AIDS Campaign, with the support of UNAIDS, facilitates the international theme for World AIDS Day, which this year is Stop AIDS, Keep the Promise. Visit the World AIDS Campaign to post events or to find out what is happening outside the UK.
