Today, 1st December, the World Health Organization (WHO) together with communities and partners commemorate World AIDS Day 2023.
The theme for this year's celebration is, “Let communities lead”.
The world can end AIDS with communities leading the way. That is why the theme for World AIDS Day this year is ‘Let communities lead’, and much more than a celebration of the achievements of communities, it is a call to action to enable and support communities in their leadership roles against the health challenge.
On our part as government, we would continue to raise awareness, urging citizens to stay safe.
Enugu State has made some progress in reducing the number of HIV and AIDS-related transmissions in the general population.
The coordination of the activities of implementing partners, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Community-Based Organizations, (CBOs) and various networks, have also helped in the fight against the virus.
Government is unrelenting in its resolve and making steady progress. We have our eyes on the ball to effectively ensure that the prevalence and burden of HIV/AIDS in the state are considerably reduced to ensure a healthier, safer, and vibrant environment for all.
Endeavour to test yourself. It is free. If you test positive, it is not the end of life. Get help and continue to take your medications to live healthy and active. If you test negative for HIV, continue to stay safe. Visit any government accredited hospitals for your drugs.
Enugu State Government will continue to support efforts to reduce prevalence of the virus, and ensure the health of its citizens.
Dec.1 every year is globally commemorated as the World AIDS Day in remembrance of all the people living with HIV/AIDS, providing an opportunity for escalation of HIV/AIDS health awareness, preventive, treatment and rehabilitative messages.
