12/1 is World AIDS Day

11/16 to 12/15 is the Tokyo Metropolitan AIDS Prevention Month.

HIV infection weakens the immune system, which causes AIDS. This year’s World AIDS Day campaign theme is “U=U: Revisiting our understanding. December 1st is World AIDS Day.” AIDS is a disease that develops when the immune system is weakened due to HIV infection. With advancements in treatment medications, if appropriate treatment is started early, it is now possible to suppress the onset of AIDS and lead a normal life. For early detection and treatment, it is important to get tested.
