The Global HIV Problem


World AIDS day was found in 1988 with the purpose of raising awareness for AIDS and HIV diseases, showing support to people who live with HIV and remembering those whose have died from illnesses related to AIDS. It takes place on 1st December each year, which was also the first global health day.
