The Origin and Significance of AIDS Day

The origin of AIDS Day:

Since 198 1 found the first case of AIDS infection in the world, in just over 20 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.

The significance of AIDS Day:

First, let people know that AIDS can be controlled and prevented on a global scale.

Second, let everyone know that everyone should be responsible for their own actions, which is very important for preventing AIDS.

Third, through the publicity of AIDS Day, arouse people's sympathy and understanding for HIV-infected people, because they have suffered from diseases both physically and mentally, and some HIV-infected people may be passive and innocent.

Fourth, I hope everyone will support the AIDS prevention and control plans formulated by their respective countries, so as to arouse people all over the world to take action to support this work.
