Every year, on December 1st, the world commemorates World AIDS Day. People around the world unite to show support for people living with and affected by HIV, and to remember those who lost their lives to AIDS.
​
In 2020, the world’s attention has been focused by the COVID-19 pandemic on health and how pandemics affect lives and livelihoods. COVID-19 is showing once again how health is interlinked with other critical issues, such as reducing inequality, human rights, gender equality, social protection and economic growth. With this in mind, this year the theme of World AIDS Day is

                                                                                           “Global solidarity, shared responsibility”.
 
COVID-19 has demonstrated that, during a pandemic, no one is safe until everyone is safe. Leaving people behind is not an option if we are to succeed. Eliminating stigma and discrimination, putting people at the centre and grounding our responses in human rights and gender-responsive approaches are key to ending the colliding pandemics of HIV and COVID-19.

CPARG continues to work to develop research and resources to support children and families affected by HIV. The CPARG-sponsored Canadian Perinatal HIV Surveillance Program (CPHSP) tracks HIV-affected pregnancies in Canada – we are down to only 1-5 babies born with HIV in Canada per year, but we hope to someday get to zero!
 
For WAD2020, CPARG encourages everyone to GET INFORMED, SHARE ACCURATE INFORMATION, and do your best to REDUCE THE STIGMA OF HIV/AIDS.
