World AIDS Day

Every year on December 1st, the world pauses to reflect, remember, and recommit. World AIDS Day, established in 1988, was the first-ever global health day—created to raise awareness about HIV & AIDS, support those living with HIV, and honor the lives of those we’ve lost. For more than three decades, it has united communities, inspired action, and strengthened the worldwide commitment to end the HIV epidemic.

This year, our community came together in that same powerful spirit at our World AIDS Day: Red for Resilience event sponsored by Rocky Mount Alumnae Chapter, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., held on November 22nd at the OIC Auditorium. This event was a call to stand shoulder to shoulder in strength, love, and unwavering solidarity.

Red for Resilience brought together:

  •  Free, confidential on-site HIV testing provided by OIC

  •  A motivating and honest fireside chat with Zoe Jones, Dr. Tiffany Tyson, and Dr. Yolonda Webb

  •  Community resources, education, and empowerment

This movement is bigger than one day. It’s a commitment to awareness, wellness, and resilience—together.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, spoke up, and stood up. Our community is stronger because of you.

Let’s break stigma, elevate awareness, and save lives.
