World AIDS Day 2024
#End Transmissions

Each year, World AIDS Day is celebrated on the 1st of December to remember those loved and lost to HIV related illness and to stand in solidarity with those living with HIV today across the world and locally.

This year, our World AIDS Day theme is ‘End Transmissions’ honouring our commitment to

  • Support the United Nations AIDS (UNAIDS) target to reduce HIV transmission in England to zero by 2030, which has been adopted by the UK government.
  • Support the Fast Track Cities Initiative (FTIC): on December the 1st 2018, Liverpool City Council joined Liverpool into the Fast Track Cities Initiative (FTCI). This meant signing the Paris Declaration which outlines a set of commitments to achieve the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets. 90% of people living with HIV knowing their HIV status; 90% of all people with diagnosed HIV receiving treatment and care; 90% of all people on treatment getting to undetectable levels. 
  • Get the whole of the Liverpool City Region committed to the Paris Declaration.

We demonstrate our continued commitment to this through our HIV testing, prevention and training; supporting those living with HIV to access healthcare services and treatment; providing counselling and peer support groups and offering social and practical support to enable people to live well with HIV and achieve their own personal goals and aspirations .

Join us in this commitment – know your status, get tested!
