DHS Recognizes World AIDS Day?
?Remembering those lost to HIV and committing to ending the HIV epidemic
Tomorrow, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) will join countless other organizations around the state and across the country to observe the 35th annual World AIDS Day by honoring, celebrating, and advocating for those who have been impacted by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), a virus that weakens a person?s immune system by destroying the body?s cells that fight disease and infection.
?This annual event is a reminder of the global struggle to end HIV-related stigma, and an opportunity to honor those we have lost,? said DHS State Health Officer Paula Tran. ?While there have been tremendous advances in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care of people with HIV, we must remain vigilant and continue to work together to ensure essential HIV services are accessible to all Wisconsinites who are in need.?
