When will the World Health Organization designate as World AIDS Day every year?

The World Health Organization designated 65438+February 1 as World AIDS Day in 1988.

Since the establishment of World AIDS Day, there has been a clear publicity theme every year. Around this theme, UNAIDS coordinates relevant UN agencies and mobilizes member countries to carry out various forms of publicity and education activities. 202 1 is the 34th World AIDS Day, and this year's theme is "Life First, End AIDS, Health Equality".

The publicity of World AIDS Day can arouse people's sympathy and understanding for HIV-infected people and AIDS patients, and call on people all over the world to act together to support AIDS prevention and anti-discrimination work. There are different levels of organizations in China to provide services for HIV-infected people and AIDS patients, which has promoted the development of AIDS prevention and anti-AIDS discrimination.

Set background:

The full name of AIDS is "acquired immunodeficiency syndrome". It is a malignant infectious disease with high mortality caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). After HIV invades the human body, it can destroy the immune system of the human body, making infected people gradually lose their resistance to various diseases and even lead to death, which is one of the most difficult problems in medicine at present.

In just over 30 years, AIDS has become a major public health and social problem, which has attracted great attention from the World Health Organization and governments around the world. According to United Nations statistics, as of 20 18, * * 37.9 million people were infected with HIV, of which 23.3 million were receiving antiretroviral treatment.
