World AIDS Day is TODAY. This is a yearly opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died.
While the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) affects people across all walks of life, infection rates are disproportionately high within the LGBTQ community. The populations most vulnerable to HIV infection are gay and bisexual men and transwomen, especially those of color.
