3  World AIDS Day was first observed as a commemorative event on 01 December 1988 when Health Ministers from around the world met under the auspices of the World Health Organization and agreed on the concept of the day as creating an opportunity to pay special attention to as well as show solidarity for the global fight against HIV and AIDS.  The global theme for the World AIDS Day Campaign is Getting to Zero”. The theme seeks to encourage individuals and communities to have a non – discriminatory and non – judgemental access to adequate HIV prevention, treatment, care and support.

4  The global theme complements the three (03) phased South African WAD Theme “I am Responsible, We are Responsible and South Africa is taking Responsibility”, which was adopted by SANAC in 2009. During the 2011 WAD Campaign, the emphasis will be on South Africa is taking responsibility by providing universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support.  Furthermore, South Africa will continuously strive to achieve zero HIV infections.

5  Government renewed its commitment to scale-up the Multi-Sectoral HIV and AIDS response in 2009. Subsequently, His Excellency President JG Zuma announced major policy shifts during the 2009 WAD.  These policy shifts demonstrated a renewed energy, commitment and stewardship of the current administration in tackling the scourge of HIV and AIDS

6  The integral part of the renewed Government commitment to the HIV and AIDS response was the launch of the Massive HCT Campaign under the leadership of SANAC on the 25 th April 2011.  The Massive HCT Campaign is aimed at increasing the uptake of HCT through mobilizing sexually active individuals to take responsibility by knowing their status in order to be able to access comprehensive packages of care
