HIV hasn't gone away
Time to face the facts... World AIDS day poster - Pop-up window (150kb)Welcome to World AIDS Day - the international day of action on HIV and AIDS which takes place every year on 1 December.
This year in the UK, World AIDS Day is about reminding us all that HIV is an issue for everyone.
Thousands of new cases of HIV are still being diagnosed in the UK each year and the only way we can stop it spreading is by creating a more AIDS Aware society in which everyone takes action.
The stories on our site (just click on the images above) are from real people who are taking action. This may be as simple as learning more about HIV, attending a World AIDS Day event or practicing safer sex... but no matter how small or large their contribution, they are all making a difference.
We want to hear why HIV is an issue for you and what you are doing about it (we can even suggest ways for you to get involved if that helps!) Just send us your thoughts and you might see your face appearing on our site.
You can show your support for World AIDS Day by wearing the Virtual Red Ribbon online.
Thanks to generous support from our sponsors, Man Around, you can now support World AIDS Day 2004 just by treating yourself to a holiday!
Watch the Community Channel on 1 December - the first UK TV channel to broadcast non stop 24-hour HIV awareness programmes on World AIDS Day in partnership with the National AIDS Trust!
NAT is also grateful to our other sponsors Immunace and Uviclean.
