DEAF OUTREACH PROGRAM

TODAY — WORLD AIDS DAY, DECEMBER 1, 2025
A red candle — a light.
A small flame glowing, while the world around is dark, chaotic, disrupted.
Services break. People struggle. Community risks rise.
But this flame refuses to die.
This flame = strength.
Disruption can be overcome. The AIDS response can be transformed.
We honor people living with HIV.
We support people still fighting.
The Deaf community is strong — we share information and protect each other.
One candle grows into many — one light → many lights → a brighter world.
On 1 December, the World Health Organization (WHO) joins partners and communities for World AIDS Day 2025.
Theme: Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response.
Call to action: Sustain political leadership, strengthen international cooperation, and keep a human-rights focus — to end AIDS by 2030.
After decades of progress, the HIV response stands at a crossroads.
Life-saving services are disrupted. Communities face higher risk.
Yet even in challenge, hope endures — through determination, resilience, and innovation.
Worldwide (2024):
• 40 million people living with HIV
• 31 million receiving treatment — living healthy lives
• 1.3 million new infections
• 630,000 AIDS-related deaths
Transmission: blood, sexual fluids, mother-to-child.
Not spread by hugging or sharing objects.
Prevention works: condoms, PrEP, safer practices.
Testing saves lives: early detection = early treatment.
