Burgas Municipality Marks World AIDS Day with Free Tests and Campaign

For another year, Burgas Municipality marks December 1st – World AIDS Day. In this regard, voluntary, free, and anonymous counseling and HIV testing with a rapid test will be carried out in a mobile laboratory by a team from the Regional Health Inspectorate-Burgas on 01.12.2025 /Monday/ from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Clock. Teams of Red Cross volunteers will provide health information materials and protective equipment. These activities aim to raise awareness among young people and people at increased risk regarding the ways of infection and prevention of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections. The organizers of the campaign are the "Healthcare, Prevention and Social Activities" Directorate, Burgas Municipality, and the Regional Health Inspectorate-Burgas. On December 1st, we call on everyone to light a candle in their window at 9:00 PM. Let this act be an expression of empathy and solidarity with those affected by HIV/AIDS. Let us unite and become part of the global empathy for the grief of the families of those affected by HIV/AIDS! Let us send a message to the whole society for tolerance and respect towards people living with HIV/AIDS!
