World AIDS Day
The theme for the 2025 observance is "Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response," focusing on resilience in the face of challenges and the importance of sustained political leadership and community efforts to end AIDS by 2030.

Fediverse users who rely on Apple products and services for any need (blindness included): from 1st to 7th December 2025 the cooperation between Apple and ProductRed, donates 5 dollars automatically for any transaction coming from ApplePay.
Let me add something though: American government has cut global fund; Apple is a big tech company who still keeps promoting accessibility and diversity/inclusion programs despite general government policies.
It however licks Trump's boots (just to say it elegantly) but I think every dollar is fundamental. Is it going to last? Does 100% donations go actually there? I don't know. I just do whatever I can for HIV and AIDS awareness.
📢 Am #WeltAIDSTag unser Update zum Zweiten Berliner Patienten, dem zweiten #HIV-Heilungsfall an der #CharitéBerlin: Letztes Jahr vorgestellt, war der Heilungsmechanismus bisher unklar.
💡 Neue Erkenntnisse im Fachmagazin Nature zeigen: Der Patient hat besondere Antikörper gebildet, die nach Stammzelltransplantation wohl zur vollständigen Bekämpfung des Virus beigetragen haben. Details heute im Tagesspiegel (€):

"There have been other benefits for Portugal from de-criminalisation. Thanks largely to officially supported needle swaps, confirmed HIV cases fell from 1,287 in 2001 to just 16 in 2019."

Mit #peerreview in einem renommierten Journal erschienen:
SARS-CoV-2 verursacht zwar kein HIV/AIDS, aber seine Fähigkeit, Immunfunktionsstörungen hervorzurufen – einschließlich T-Zell-Depletion und -Dysfunktion, erhöhter Anfälligkeit für Infektionen, einschließlich opportunistischer Infektionen, beschleunigter biologischer Alterung, neurologischer und systemischer Schäden – bietet Parallelen zu AIDS im breiteren immunologischen Kontext.
