the theme for world AIDs day is shown here as 54321. a quick check here indicates it is the same as 2003, Stigma & discrimination. lets not be silly people. that same page also appears to show there is some complications with the AIDs day theme, at least in 2005. unless i get beaten too it i will fix when i am more sober. - fruitybix 1/12/05—Preceding unsigned comment added by Fruity bix (talk • contribs) 04:35, 1 December 2005
Why is the Red Ribbon a redirection to a Dragonballs article?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.196.211.8 (talk) 14:15, 1 December 2005
Last year the government of Buenos Aires placed a giant "condom" on the Obelisco, for awareness, on AIDS Day. I've added the picture to Condom, since it's not simply a weird sight but an example of the cultural impact of the device; I'm not sure if it's appropriate here, so I'm asking for your opinions. —Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 03:08, 10 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Great picture, and definitely relevant. I added it. SomethingFamiliar 21:20, 30 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
While World AIDS Day became a UN sponsored event in 1988, it was actually started in 1986 by Metropolitan Community Church's Rev. David Farrell as a colaborative initiative between MCC and other faith communities.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.220.67.218 (talk) 12:23, 17 June 2006
actually the U.N world aids day was declared in response to thousands of churches who had joined with MCC's Days of rememberance.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Psstache (talk • contribs) 17:43, December 1, 2008
I'm reading that
The first World AIDS Day was held in 1988 after health ministers from around the world met in London, England and agreed to such a day as a way of highlighting the enormity of the AIDS pandemic and nations’ responsibility to ensure universal treatment, care and support for people living with HIV and AIDS.

I've removed the remark that this commemorates the "first diagnosis" in 1981. That statement had no reference, and I've been unable to find anything important on 1 Dec 1981. The syndrome was identified by at least 5 June, 1981 by CDC. Was it officially declared a new disease on 1 Dec, perhaps?--LachlanA 01:54, 13 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
How about we cut down on the number of external links in this article? Thirteen seems rather excessive, and some of these pages aren't especially relevant or informative. Trezatium (talk) 14:55, 24 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
The following material had been added on 1 December 2008 to the History section:
Unfortunately, this material was copied (much of it word-for-word) from the Metropolitan Community Church Web site[1]. Wikipedia's copyright rules note: "If some, but not all, of the content of a page appears to be a copyright infringement, then the infringing content should be removed, and a note to that effect should be made on the discussion page, along with the original source, if known. If the copyright holder's permission is later obtained, the text may be restored." This has been done. - Tim1965 (talk) 23:56, 1 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
Perhaps this will assist. As noted in the discussion above:
the article only states that it started on december 1, but worldaidsday.org states that it is on the 12th, at least in the uk this year. its been december 1 since i remember, and the vandals seem to agree. does the uk have a different world aids day than the rest of the world?
never mind. i shouldnt edit at this hour of the morning. badmachine (talk) 08:14, 2 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
There is a history of excessive vandalism for the past two years, only to have the article be Protected after being vandalized. The vandalism usually begins mid November.
I'm still kind of a noob here about some things, and have reached out to some editors who have protected the page in the past... But perhaps we could pro-actively Protect or Semi-Protect the page now through Dec 2? Please advise. 38.109.88.194 (talk) 07:35, 17 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
22 external links and 18 in-line references, I think the refimprove banner is highly unnecessary. Any comments? 38.109.88.194 (talk) 23:33, 21 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
I just added a link to publicly available digitized posters advertising World AIDS Day from the UCLA Library's Digital Collections. It's a valuable demonstration of the ways in which World AIDS Day has been represented visually around the world, but I'm mentioning it here because I'm a librarian at UCLA. I want to make sure that it's generally agreed by page editors that this doesn't represent a conflict of interest, and is an appropriate External Link for this page.

Iremoved this section as it did not cite any sources. I tried to add them on my own but I got conflicting info. For example, in the US it appears to be both October and December and I didn't see any search results for other countries. It would be good if someone can unravel this puzzle. Thanks. —howcheng {chat} 17:26, 30 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
I wanted to share our current events page collaboration on Wikispore, a part of Wikipedia:Wikimedia Cloud Services, covering World AIDS Day events globally this year. We could include this for the current year, and update it annually, because this is more detail than would go in the perennial Wikipedia article.--Pharos (talk) 05:07, 4 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
