World AIDS Day 2009

World AIDS Day is held on 1 December every year.
It is an international day to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS around the world.
The first World AIDS Day was celebrated on 1 December 1988.
.
This year’s theme for the day is “human rights and access to treatment”.
The theme has been chosen to address the critical need to protect human rights and make HIV prevention, treatment, care and support accessible to all.
.
The theme acts as a call to countries to remove laws that discriminate against people living with HIV.
