The World AIDS Day is celebrated each year on the 1st of December, with a view to encouraging people all over the world to promote awareness of the AIDS/HIV pandemic, as well as stimulating international cooperation to combat this hazardous disease. The day is reckoned a window of opportunity for partners from the public and private sectors to raise people's awareness and take palpable preventive and curative steps in all countries, especially those with high AIDS incidence (morbidity and mortality).
