World AIDS day is a time to gather in support and solidarity with people living with HIV/AIDS, and to shed light on the work being done to eliminate HIV/ AIDS, including removing barriers to care.

A very simple step folks can take to not only show support for those living with HIV/AIDS but to also remove stigma from the conversation about HIV/AIDS is the way we talk about it.
