World AIDS Day, observed every year on December 1, is a time to remember those we’ve lost, inspire hope for those living with HIV, and recommit to ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic. It’s a day of reflection, action, and determination to create a future free from HIV/AIDS.
Why World
AIDS Day Matters
Despite significant progress, HIV remains a silent crisis, with fear, stigma, and misinformation stopping many from getting tested or accessing treatment. This year’s theme, Take the rights path, emphasises empowering individuals through knowledge, fostering inclusion, and ensuring equitable access to healthcare.
At YRG CARE, we recognize that tackling HIV requires more than medical solutions—it demands social change. For over thirty years, we’ve been empowering communities, raising awareness, and breaking the silence about HIV. This World AIDS Day, we renew our commitment to the Rights Path by strengthening awareness, encouraging testing, and providing support to those affected.
YRG Podcast
This #WorldAIDSDay (WAD 24), YRG CARE brings you a groundbreaking podcast that breaks silence and challenges stigma. Four powerful voices – representing People Who Inject Drugs (PWID), Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM), Transgender individuals, and People Living with HIV share transformative insights from the frontlines of India's HIV landscape around their respective communities.
