Reflecting on World AIDS Day and ETR's Commitment to Ending the HIV/AIDS Epidemic

Reflecting on World AIDS Day and ETR's Commitment to Ending the HIV/AIDS Epidemic

By Vignetta Charles, PhD | December 2, 2019

Sunday, December 1, 2019, marked the 31st observance of World AIDS Day. The theme for 2019 is “Ending the HIV/AIDS Epidemic: Community by Community.” This feels especially appropriate since we have been developing community-driven responses from the beginning. While reflecting on the nearly four decades of the HIV pandemic, ETR started looking back at our response since the earliest reported cases. Check out this retrospective of ETR’s history developing some of the nation's leading HIV education, training and research.

Ending the HIV/AIDS Epidemic

ETR’s science-based and community-driven products and services were there at the beginning and will be there for the duration. Our response will continue to evolve as we adapt to changing times. We will innovate, evaluate, collaborate and act against HIV until the end of AIDS.
