Dear Members,
World AIDS Day, which will be marking its 31st anniversary on 1 December 2019 and the theme for this year is “ Ending the HIV/AIDS Epidemic: Community by Community".
The commemoration of World AIDS Day is an important opportunity to recognize the essential role that communities have played and continue to play in the AIDS response at the international, national and local levels.
Communities contribute to the AIDS response in many different ways. Their leadership and advocacy ensure that the response remains relevant and grounded, keeping people at the centre and leaving no one behind.
IADVL requests all state branches to join hands on the World AIDS Day and observe by raising awareness about the importance of Communities make the difference and calling for the removal of all barriers to access HIV testing.
With Best Regards
Dr. P Narasimha Rao Dr. Umashankar Nagaraju
President, IADVL Hon. Sec. General, IADVL
