RECAP: 2014 WORLD AIDS DAY.

'Our aim is to eradicate HIV/AIDS in 2015', says Department of Health.  The 26th Annual World Aids Day was marked on Monday around the world.  This years theme: I cannot change my HIV status, but you can change your attitude'.  Meaning, zero stigma and zero discrimination.


World Aids Day is held on December 1st each year.  It raises awareness across the world and community about the disease/issues surrounding HIV&Aids.  In South Africa, we marked 10 years anniversary of ARVs treatment since 2004.  WHO{World Health Organization} created the commemoration in 1988 as a way to raise awareness and visibility among public for the disease, particularly in sub-Sahara Africa.
