Amid a new pandemic with COVID-19, AHF continues its timely World AIDS Day theme for 2021 — “AIDS: The Other Pandemic."

While the world must continue fighting COVID-19, we cannot forget about HIV/AIDS, a pandemic that has raged for more than 30 years and remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases in history.

On World AIDS Day, AHF invites you to search the countries below and find one of the many virtual or live events near you. Join us in person or online to help ensure the world never forgets about “AIDS: The Other Pandemic!”

AHF started as a community-based hospice in Los Angeles in 1987 to care for the sick and dying and grew to become the world’s largest AIDS organization providing over 1.6 million people with care and treatment in over 45 countries. Watch our “Keeping the Promise” documentary narrated by Academy Award-winner Meryl Streep and experience AHF’s journey to become the largest provider of HIV/AIDS care worldwide.

AHF’s Fund the Fund campaign is an advocacy initiative to mobilize civil society by calling on major world economies to ensure the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is fully funded. It specifically focuses on wealthy countries like China—which has the world’s second largest economy yet does not contribute its fair share to the Fund. Learn more by watching this short video!

As a leading sexual health organization, we believe condoms must be readily available and affordable for everyone who needs them, since they remain the most cost-effective form of prevention for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. With our creative events and electrifying advertising campaigns, we strive to promote the idea that condoms are an expression of a healthy lifestyle. Learn more about AHF-branded LOVE and ICON condoms by visiting lovecondoms.org.

While HIV/AIDS will always be AHF’s top priority – the COVID-19 vaccine disparity between rich and poor nations is immoral, unfair, and most importantly, deadly – for the billions that still have no access to lifesaving vaccines. AHF’s Vaccinate Our World call-to-action continues to push G20 leaders and vaccine makers to do the right thing and ensure that all countries have equal access to vaccines. Visit VaccinateOurWorld.org to learn more.

To help young women thrive, AHF launched its Girls Act campaign in Africa in 2016 and focused on two main objectives: Scale-up HIV/AIDS prevention services to curb new infections; and ensure that HIV positive young people have access to treatment, retention and support services. Since young women and girls 10-24 years old are twice as likely to acquire HIV as young men the same age, the successful initiative has been expanded to many other countries where AHF works.

AHF invites you to view “Girls Act!”—a heartwarming documentary about how five young women are winning their battles against HIV and leading healthy, productive lives thanks to the knowledge and self-confidence gained through their hard work, perseverance and the Girls Act program.

Since 2015, AHF has advocated for the World Bank to change the way middle-income countries (MICs) are classified, which is used to determine what countries get donor assistance and how much is given.

Due to this classification system, countries where individuals can earn as little as $2.84 per day—or about as much as a cup of coffee—are often labeled as “middle-income” and deprived of aid for vital healthcare programs and lifesaving medicines. To learn more, visit raisethemic.org.

Narrated by Oscar-winning actor J.K. Simmons, AHF’s feature-length documentary, “DRUG$: The Price We Pay” shows how a corrupt system of corporate greed and faulty legislation allows pharmaceuticals to be the most lucrative industry in the world—from profits earned off the sick and dying.

Unless the pharmaceutical industry undergoes radical reform, “DRUG$” shows us how the entire healthcare system will inevitably collapse, leaving society overburdened and without access to quality medicine. Watch it for free at drugsthefilm.com or stream it on Amazon Prime today!

This current COVID-19 crisis – along with other outbreaks such as Ebola, SARS, Zika and HIV/AIDS – has made it clear that we are out of options. The world is in survival mode, and the time has come to redefine fundamental assumptions about multilateralism, international cooperation on public health, and most importantly—the need for a new Global Public Health Convention.

We invite you to learn more by reading the publication of a peer-reviewed research article titled “A Global Public Health Convention for the 21st Century” in the prestigious Lancet Public Health journal. The paper presents 10 recommendations aimed at transforming the global health system so that it can become more transparent, accountable, and cooperative when responding to international health emergencies like COVID-19.

On World AIDS Day 2021, AHF Urges Everyone to Keep Fighting “The Other Pandemic.”

While COVID-19 has devastated communities worldwide and remained in the spotlight, the world must keep fighting to protect the precious gains made against HIV/AIDS—a more than 30-year pandemic and a continuing a global public health crisis.

What is World AIDS Day?
World AIDS Day takes place every year on December 1st. It is an annual day of remembrance that serves as a reminder of the global struggle to end HIV-related stigma, an opportunity to honor those we have lost, and a rallying cry to commit to working toward a day when HIV is no longer a public health threat.

Every year, AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) commemorates World AIDS Day with impactful community events around the world. Check back here for more information on World AIDS Day events in 2024.

Why Does it Matter?
As the largest HIV healthcare provider in the world, AHF is proud to stand together with our clients, advocates, and partners to commemorate World AIDS Day every year.

From rallies around the world to concerts, marches, and candlelight vigils across the United States, we make it our mission to raise awareness every December 1st. In partnership with artists like Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lawerence, Christina Aguilera, and Billy Porter, these events have worked to bring attention to the continued global fight against HIV and AIDS, and we aren’t stopping anytime soon.
A Global Community
As an international day of remembrance, our teams work tirelessly to coordinate World AIDS Day events in the many countries that we serve. With 1.9 million lives in care and services in 45 countries and counting, it’s essential for us to raise awareness and support our clients, no matter their geographic location.

AHF has built a global community that refuses to stay silent. HIV and AIDS have left their mark on millions around the world, and the fight is far from over. Our World AIDS Day events serve as a reminder to the global community that we must continue our efforts in prevention, treatment, and advocacy until we achieve a world where HIV and AIDS are no longer a threat to individuals and communities around the globe. If we stand together, we can make a difference. Get involved to help us raise awareness and make a real impact in this fight.
