History

World AIDS Day was started in August 1987 by James W. Bunn and Thomas Netter, two public information officers of the Global Program on AIDS at the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. Bunn and Netter took their idea to Drs. Jonathan Mann, Director of the Global Program on AIDS (now known as UNAIDS). Mann liked the idea, embraced it, and agreed with the recommendation that the first World AIDS Day should be celebrated on December 1, 1988. Bunn, a former San Francisco television journalist, praised December 1 for believing in increasing the spread of this Day through the media of the western media, long enough to follow the US election but before the Christmas holidays.

In its first two years, the theme for World AIDS Day focused on children and young people. While the choice of the theme was criticized by some at the time for ignoring the fact that people of all ages could be infected with HIV, the theme helped to reduce some of the stigma surrounding the disease and increase the perception of the problem as a family disease.   

Each year, Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI issued a greeting message to patients and doctors on World AIDS Day.

In the US, the White House began celebrating World AIDS Day with a display of the 8.5 m (8.5 m) AIDS Ribbon in North Portico of the building in 2007. White House Aide Steven M. Levine, former President George W. Bush’s administration, proposed the exhibition to demonstrate the United States’ commitment to fighting the global AIDS epidemic through its historic PEPFAR program. The White House exhibition, now an annual tradition in the administration of the four Presidents, quickly gained attention, as it was the banner, sign or symbol of a prominent hanging in the White House since the administration of Abraham Lincoln.

Since 1993, the President of the United States has made the official announcement of World AIDS Day (see section # US Presidential Announcements for World AIDS Day for copies of those declarations). On November 30, 2017, President Donald Trump declared World AIDS Day on December 1.
