The entire world will celebrate World AIDS Day on December 1.

This year’s theme is; ‘End inequalities. End AIDS'. It highlights the need to end inequalities that drive AIDS and other pandemics around the world.

UNAIDS said without bold action against inequalities, the work risks missing its targets, which include ending AIDS by 2030.
