Women Come Forward To Support World AIDS Day

World AIDS day is an international day dedicated to raising awareness about AIDS, caused by HIV infections and mourning those who have lost their lives to the disease. This has been a tradition ever December 1 since 1988.

Women around the world today took to Twitter in support of World AIDS day.

“A majority of those living with HIV today are LGBTQ+ people from communities of color, who especially in the South, often face too many barriers to health care,” Politician Elizabeth Warren said. “We need to break down those barriers so everyone gets the care they need.”
