World AIDS Day: December 1, 2012 World AIDS Day on 1 December
brings together people from around the world to raise awareness
about HIV/AIDS and demonstrate international solidarity in the
face of the pandemic. The day is an opportunity for public and

pandemic and encourage progress in HIV/AIDS prevention,
treatment and care in high prevalence countries and around the
