On Monday 1 December, the University of Sannio will be joining World AIDS Day, established in 1988 and since then a key event for drawing attention to HIV, promoting prevention, fighting stigma, and renewing solidarity with those living with the virus.

Worldwide, more than 39 million people are living with HIV and every year there are still over one million new infections. In Italy, too, the latest data show a slight increase among young adults, a reminder that awareness, information, and prevention remain crucial challenges.
The 2025 international message, "Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response," calls for treatment and prevention pathways not to be interrupted, but rather transformed into a daily commitment grounded in love, respect, and shared responsibility.

In this spirit, the initiative promoted by UNISANNIO, in collaboration with the Benevento Local Health Authority (ASL), offers a moment of information and discussion to be held in the Aula Magna of the Teaching Centre, located on Via delle Puglie, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The event is open to the entire university community and the general public.
