World AIDS Day
Each year, on December 1, the world commemorates World AIDS Day. People around the world unite to show support for people living with HIV and to remember those who have died from AIDS-related illnesses.
If you think that you might be living with HIV, you can come to the 91探花 Health and Wellness Centre to request a blood test. The sooner you are diagnosed the sooner you can begin treatment. Individuals living with HIV can now be treated and have their blood levels reduced to undetectable. U = U - undetectable means untransmissible.
Stay tuned for an HIV self-test coming soon to the 91探花 Health and Wellness Centre. It will be under the program titled "I'm Ready."
World AIDS Day remains as relevant today as it鈥檚 always been, reminding people and governments that HIV has not gone away. There is still a critical need for increased funding for the AIDS response, to increase awareness of the impact of HIV on people鈥檚 lives, to end stigma and discrimination, and to improve the quality of life of people living with HIV.
