Proclamation 8609

World AIDS Day, 2010

This proclamation designates December 1, 2010 as World AIDS Day, commemorating the HIV/AIDS pandemic and urging Americans to remember those lost to AIDS and support those living with the disease. The document largely describes existing administration policies—the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, Affordable Care Act provisions, and elimination of the HIV entry ban—rather than creating new policy mandates.
