The University of California, San Diego will commemorate World AIDS Day 2024 from December 1st to December 6th, with events that highlight the impact of HIV/AIDS on the San Diego community, the nation, and the world. Our programs will also focus on raising awareness about HIV prevention and promoting resources for ongoing support and education.
World AIDS Day began globally on December 1, 1988, to raise funds, increase awareness, fight prejudice, and promote education related to HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. Since then, the event has grown and is honored by governments, schools, businesses, and individuals around the world. At UC San Diego, the goal of World AIDS Day programming is to provide a forum for reflection, education, and action. We hope to engage our community in an ongoing dialogue that encourages each individual to be educated and take action to stop AIDS.
Free HIV testing is also available all week at Student Health Services! Schedule an appointment with the lab for Self-Directed STI Testing and add on STI testing for $10- $30 this week only – regularly $60 to $205 without UC SHIP or RAFT.
Walk-in lab appointments will be available during the World AIDS Day Resource Fair on December 3rd from 10am–2pm by visiting the Student Health Services table.
