I AM!
Abstract: World AIDS Day focuses on human rights and universal access to care.
December 1 is World AIDS Day and the emphasis for 2009 is Universal Access and Human Rights:
Understanding HIV and AIDS from a human rights perspective can be difficult. Human rights are often misunderstood and can sometimes be seen as abstract ideals with not much practical relevance for real people.
The slogans for the World AIDS Day materials were designed to bridge that gap and underscore the importance of awareness of Human Rights.
Among the key slogans adopted:
I am accepted.
I am safe.
I am getting treatment.
I am well
I am living my rights.
Access for all to HIV prevention treatment care and support is a critical part of human rights.
