World AIDS Day 2020 is on December 1. On this day, people honour those who lost their lives because of AIDS and also stand in support with the ones infected. AIDS—Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic, potentially life-threatening condition caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The virus can be transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen or vaginal fluids. A lot is not known about the disease and people’s misconception, lack of knowledge, and awareness make it even more difficult to fight against it. World AIDS Day aims to deter the negative approach towards the disease and generate more information. As we celebrate World AIDS Day 2020 today, responsible netizens are sharing motivational messages and quotes on Twitter, urging each other to express solidarity with HIV infected people and create more awareness about the disease.
Millions of people across the world are infected with HIV, and many have died from AIDS-related illness. World AIDS Day was founded in 1988, and it is considered as the first-ever global health day. It is a reminder to the public and government that HIV has not gone away, and there is a vital need to raise money, increase awareness, fight prejudice and improve education. To show the participation, most people would wear an HIV awareness red ribbon on this day, which is a significant symbol. Again, others share thoughtful messages and encourage everyone to learn more about HIV AIDS. Let us check out how netizens are observing World AIDS Day 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Let's not forget HIV did not go away in this pandemic. A lot of PLHIV have not disclosed their status to their family. Please don't go out if not needed. You might bring home the virus and your PLHIV relative might suffer.

Getting tested is the only way to find out if you have HIV or not. Even though no cure exists for AIDS, strict adherence to antiretroviral regimens (ARVs) can slow the disease’s progress. Starting treatment early means you can live a full, healthy and productive life.
