Besides numerous initiatives made, HIV-AIDS still exists in this world and therefore to bring a final end to this epidemic, associations, departments, societies and various other organizations are trying hard to spread the awareness and to make use of some of the best and most effective vaccines and other curative measures.

To embark the day, September 27 is the date decided to celebrate National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day – NGMHAAD in Washington. The main aim behind this awareness day is to make gays, men who have sex with men, make aware of the risk they share. Most of them are already infected and many don’t even know about it.

It is crucial at this point of time to stamp out HIV in any ways. Whether it is about having more and far better antivirals, an effectual vaccination or an adequate cure; these biomedical tools exist in the stores of every economy but there still needs a lot of effort to make this infection a thing of the past.

The best way out is to target "key populations". These are the groups that have higher number of people getting affected by the virus. When health care and civil rights are not given to them and they are marginalized and stigmatized in some ways, their chances of getting involved in infectious and dangerous activities increase.
