Marking World AIDS Day – “Getting to Zero” global theme from 2011-2015

The global theme for World AIDS Day from 2011-2015, as selected by the World AIDS Campaign, is “Getting to Zero.” – Resources here.

World AIDS Day, observed on 1 December each year, is an important opportunity when governments, national AIDS programmes, faith organizations, community groups and individuals around the world focus attention on the global AIDS epidemic and emphasize the critical need for a committed, meaningful and sustained response.

Backed by the United Nations, the “Getting to Zero” campaign focuses on the goals of zero new infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS related deaths.
