GHA Commemorates World Aids Day 2024

The Gibraltar Health Authority will commemorate World Aids Day on the 1st December 2024, a World Health Organisation (WHO) initiative joining partners and communities across the globe.
A statement from the GHA follows below:
This year the commemoration will take place under the theme “Take the rights path: My health, my right!”
The GHA provides good access to testing and medical treatment both for residents and the floating population of cross-frontier workers, having systems in place to provide care and support for those who have contracted the disease.
Internationally, WHO is calling on global leaders and citizens to champion the right to health “by addressing the inequalities that hinder progress in ending Aids.”
GHA Director General, Kevin McGee, said: “HIV/Aids is a preventable disease that affects men and women alike. The use of condoms in casual sexual relations is strongly recommended. We offer a confidential testing service in our well person clinic to any person who requires a test. Though injecting drug usage is not an issue in Gibraltar, on a day of international awareness such as this, it is worth noting the standard advice that hypodermic needles should not be shared by drug addicts.”
