On 1 December 2018, WHO will join global partners to commemorate World AIDS Day under the theme “Know your status”.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of World AIDS Day (WAD30) – a pioneering global health campaign first initiated by WHO in 1988, WHO Regional Offices will create additional region-specific messages and materials under the global theme.
WHO advocacy and communication for World AIDS Day 2018 will aim to achieve the following objectives:
- Urge people to know their HIV infection status through testing, and to access HIV prevention, treatment and care services.
2. Urge policy-makers to promote “health for all” agenda for HIV and related health services, such as tuberculosis (TB), hepatitis and non-communicable diseases.
