World Aids Day- December 1. 

Around the world, 9.2 million people living with HIV do not have access to lifesaving antiretroviral therapy. That has to change. That's why this year's World Aids Day Report from UNAIDS draws attention to the importance of supporting communities in terms of leadership and calls on decision makers to recognise the work of community leaders. Communities play a crucial role in linking people to HIV services and connecting key populations most affected by HIV with health, HIV and support services. Communities’ leadership roles need to be made central in all HIV plans and programmes.
