World AIDS Day

December 1st

Every year on December 1, Broward County Public Schools and its partners observe World AIDS Day to raise awareness of the global impact of HIV/AIDS.  We recognize the success to date of global and domestic programs and commit to save more lives.  An estimated 1.1 million people are living with HIV in the United States.  Of those, as many as 1 in 5 people are unaware of their HIV infection.  We encourage HIV testing because finding new HIV infections means people can get lifesaving treatment and can take steps to protect their loved ones from being infected.

On World AIDS Day, we pay tribute to the millions of people living with HIV/AIDS in the United States and around the world, and the millions of people who have been tested for HIV.
