Canada's Report on HIV/AIDS 2001

World AIDS Day -- December 1, 2001

In 1988, the United Nations General Assembly designated December 1st as World AIDS Day. Each year, a theme is chosen for the World AIDS Day Campaign. In 2000, the United Nations Joint Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) launched a two-year campaign that is intended to create a sustained focus on the role of men in the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This year's slogan, "I care...Do you?", was chosen since it is capable of encapsulating discussions about the role of leaders and the needs of young men, while being broad enough to discuss other issues relevant to prevention and care, to both genders, and to different age groups.

Canada's Report on HIV/AIDS 2001 -- Current Realities: Strengthening the Response, is intended to inform the HIV/AIDS community, the Canadian public, and parliamentarians about the current realities of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, about progress that has been made in Canada in responding to the epidemic, and about the challenges that lie ahead. This report will also help inform international audiences about Canada's domestic and global response to HIV/AIDS
