World AIDS Day, hosted by the United Nations Joint Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), has been observed on 1st December annually since 1988 (1). World AIDS Day serves to unite people around the world to show support for those living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and to remember those who have died from acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related illnesses.

In light of the concurrent pandemics of tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and SARS-CoV-2, the authors highlight that “much of what is needed to end the AIDS pandemic is also critical for building pandemic-prepared and pandemic-resilient communities in the future.” A second Editorial (5) was penned by Dr. Robert C. Gallo, the codiscoverer of the HIV
