Afghanistan Celebrates World AIDS Day

USAID developed advocacy and awareness messages for major Afghan TV and radio stations.

15 December 2009 | Kabul, Afghanistan

On December 1, countries around the world marked World AIDS Day with events to raise awareness about the disease and its prevention. The theme of 2009’s World AIDS Day linked healthcare to human rights, advocating that “access for all to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support is a critical part of human rights.” In Afghanistan, USAID contributed to the global effort by developing advocacy and awareness radio and television messages for all major Afghan TV and radio stations. The messages began airing on World AIDS day, reaching approximately 15 million people.
