December 1 is World AIDS Day
Sunday is World AIDS Day, held annually on December 1 since 1988.
HIV/AIDS campaigners say World AIDS Day is important because it reminds the public and governments that AIDS has not vanished.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control says an estimated 35 million people are living with HIV/AIDS worldwide. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.
More than 25 million people have died globally from HIV/AIDS since 1981, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in history.
World AIDS Day is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against the disease, show their support for people living with the disease, and to remember those who have died from the disease.
Campaigners say there is a "vital need" to raise money to find a cure, increase awareness, fight prejudice against those living with HIV/AIDS, and improve education to prevent the spread of the disease.
