Catholic Relief Services joins with the rest of the world in recognizing the lives and amazing efforts of people living with HIV around the world. 

Get Involved with World AIDS Day

Learn about CRS' Response to the Global Pandemic. Through November, the CRS blog, Voices, is publishing weekly HIV-related posts leading up to World AIDS Day.

Raise Awareness of the Disease with the Red Ribbon Tree activity. Educate your local community, and support those affected by the pandemic around the world.

Inform your community about global HIV and AIDS. Here is an educational handout you can print, copy and distribute for World AIDS Day. Use them in schools, after mass or at home, so people can learn how the Catholic Church is responding to the global pandemic and how they can help.

• Hope and Dignity Handout

Watch a Video About the Lifesaving AIDSRelief Program in Zambia. See the stories of the in-field volunteers who counsel others on taking their antiretroviral therapy.

Share the Stories and Images of HIV. HIV in Africa: Responding with Hope offers photos exhibiting the Catholic Church's response to the HIV pandemic in Africa.

Donate to a CRS HIV Program. Raise the quality of life for those living with HIV and AIDS, protect their rights, reduce behavior that increases HIV risk and educate people about HIV and AIDS.
