Today University College will be lit up red. This has become an annual
tradition for UC during World AIDS Day every December 1st. World AIDS
Day is an opportunity to show support to and solidarity with the millions of
people living with HIV and AIDS. Historically, HIV/AIDS has had a huge impact on
LGBTQ+ communities and it continues to affect our communities. Today is an
opportunity to talk about HIV and to continue raising awareness, fighting stigma
and improving education. World AIDS Day serves as a great opportunity to bring
attention to these issues, and it serves as a reminder of why it is important to
continue this work all year round.
There are many organizations in Toronto and the GTA that
focus specifically on providing support to and raising awareness within LGBTQ+
communities affected by HIV/AIDS. Here are just a few that we have had the
pleasure to work with.
