Извор: WUNRN – 01.12.2019

World AIDS Day, designated on 1 December every year since 1988, is an international day dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV

Women account for more than half the number of people living with HIV worldwide. Young women (10-24 years old) are twice as likely to acquire HIV as young men the same age.

HIV disproportionately affects women and adolescent girls because of vulnerabilities created by unequal cultural, social and economic status.
