Welcome to World AIDS Campaign Website
The World Health Organization declared the first World
AIDS Day in 1988. The day, 1 December, quickly became established
as one of the world’s most successful commemorative
days and is now recognized and celebrated by a diverse range
of constituents every year around the globe. World AIDS
Day is celebrated to focus global attention on the HIV/AIDS
epidemic across countries, organizations and governments.
The theme for World AIDS Day 2007 will focus on leadership,
the theme set by the World AIDS Campaign under the five-year
slogan “Stop AIDS, Keep the Promise”.
2007 AIDS Epidemic Update
Global HIV prevalence has levelled off; AIDS is among the
leading causes of death globally and remains the primary
cause of death in Africa. New data show global HIV prevalence—the
percentage of people living with HIV—has levelled
off and that the number of new infections has fallen, in
part as a result of the impact of HIV programmes. However,
in 2007 33.2 million people were estimated to be living
with HIV, 2.5 million people became newly infected and 2.1
million people died of AIDS.
