Awareness of global health issues is most effectively raised through global campaigns. In 2002 - 2003, the World Aids Campaign adopted the theme 'Live and Let Live: Stigma and Discrimination' to address various hostile determinants powering HIV/Aids stigma and discrimination (S&D). Among the effects of HIV/AIDS-related S&D are blame, denial, and difficulties in adhering to treatment. While campaigns raise awareness of global health issues, it was HIV/Aids that propelled global crusades for advocacy and mobilisation. HIV/Aids S&D demanded a robust response at all levels of society, as efforts against HIV/Aids were becoming futile. The various determinants of S&D should be placed in context to address the root causes that are specific to a particular nation or community. Otherwise, campaigns will come and go without a positive impact.
