World AIDS Day, observed each year on December 1, is a global moment to honor the millions of lives affected by HIV/AIDS, remember those we have lost, and recommit to education, prevention and progress. While treatment and prevention have dramatically improved over the past four decades, HIV remains a significant public health issue — and misinformation still fuels stigma and delays diagnosis and care. This quiz is designed to help raise awareness, reinforce accurate knowledge and empower people with facts that can support safer choices, testing and compassionate understanding.
