This year’s theme is “Conquering Disruption, Improving the AIDS Response”.

This theme emphasizes the urgent need to address the disruptions caused by the pandemic, conflicts and inequalities that limit access to care. India celebrates World AIDS Day every year through nationwide awareness campaigns, community outreach activities and renewed government commitments led by the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
