On 1 December, President Higgins hosted a reception to mark World AIDS Day, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of HIV Ireland, and to pay tribute to people and organisations working to prevent the spread of AIDS and assisting people living with HIV. Last year, more than 500 new cases of HIV were diagnosed in Ireland. The number of new infections has increased in recent years, in part due to better detection methods. The national and international response to the AIDS crisis is built on the fundamental right to health and well-being of all people. The right to health is also a cornerstone of the international strategy to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. World AIDS Day highlights the importance of the right to health, as well as the challenges that people living with HIV face in fulfilling that right.

Fáíltiú ar scáth an Uachtaráin in ómós don Lá Domhanda SEIF, Friday, 01st December, 2017 Suíomh: Áras an Uachtaráin Cuirfidh an tUachtarán fáiltiú ar siúl chun an Lá Domhanda SEIF a chomóradh, i ndáil le Comóradh Cinn 30 ag VEID na hÉireann agus chun moladh a thabhairt do na daoine agus na heagrais a bhíonn ag obair chun scaipeadh SEIF a chosc agus chun cabhair a thabhairt do dhaoine atá ag fulaingt leis an VEID. Anuraidh, rinneadh níos mó ná 500 cás nua de VEID a dhiagnóisiú in Éirinn. Tá méadú tagtha ar líon na n-infhabhtuithe nua le blianta beaga anuas, agus is iad na modhanna braite feabhsaithe is cúis leis sin, den chuid is mó. Tá an fhreagairt náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta ar ghéarchéim SEIF tógtha ar bhuncheart gach duine teacht ar an tsláinte agus ar an bhfolláine. Is cuid lárnach den straitéis idirnáisiúnta chun na Spriocanna Forbartha Inbhuanaithe a bhaint amach atá sa cheart chun na sláinte. Tarraingíonn an Lá Domhanda SEIF aird ar thábhacht an chirt chun na sláinte, agus chomh maith leis sin, ar na dúshláin atá roimh daoine atá ag fulaingt leis an VEID agus iad ag iarraidh na cearta sin a bhaint amach.
