World AIDS Day

World AIDS Day is commemorated annually on December 1 to bring people together worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. We have compiled the following teaching resources for city educators to help increase awareness of HIV/AIDS and to inspire young people to action, education and elimination of HIV/AIDS.
