01 December 2021: Heath Camp for the Awareness & Screening of HIV/AIDS including other Sexually Transmitted Infections and Tuberculosis was organized in the District Women’s Jail Aligarh.

Every year, on 1
December, the world commemorates World AIDS Day. People worldwide unite to show
support for people living with and affected by HIV and to remember those who
lost their lives to AIDS. The theme of World AIDS Day 2021 is “End inequalities.
End AIDS” focusing on the inequalities that drive HIV and AIDS.
Forty years since
the first AIDS cases were reported, HIV still threatens the world. Today, the
world is off track from delivering on the shared commitment to end AIDS by
2030, not because of a lack of knowledge or tools to beat AIDS, but because of
structural inequalities that obstruct proven solutions to HIV prevention and
treatment.
If we are to end
AIDS by 2030; Without bold action against economic, social, cultural, and legal
inequalities, the world risks missing the targets, especially in today’s
situation of a prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and a spiraling social and economic
crisis.
Today, on 1st
December 2021, on the occasion of World AIDS Day, a Heath Camp for the Awareness
& Screening of HIV/AIDS including other Sexually Transmitted Infections and
Tuberculosis was organized in the District Women’s Jail Aligarh. The Health
camp was organized by the Department of Microbiology, J.N. Medical College
Aligarh in collaboration with voluntary organization Subhiksha Plus
UPNP.
