World AIDS Day is 1 December, not Giving Tuesday

1 December 2026 is World AIDS Day and also Giving Tuesday. One is remembrance and the unfinished work on HIV. The other is a gift of time.

Why keep the two Tuesdays apart?

1 December 2026 is a Tuesday. Giving Tuesday uses it as the pause after the sale weekend. World AIDS Day uses it for people living with HIV and for people who have died, and for treatment that still does not reach everyone. A shared date is not a shared event.

This page has no product and no ribbon for sale. UNAIDS keeps the international day. The occasion is the date on the calendar. Giving Tuesday remains the page for a stay or a repair. The 16 Days are already open, from 25 November, and they close on Human Rights Day, 10 December.
