Children Living in a World with AIDS was the theme for World AIDS Day 1997. The basic background about the impact of AIDS on people under the age of 18 is still relevant in the 21st century. The 1997 campaign theme overlapped with that of the 1998 campaign, which focused on the the concerns of young people (10-24 years).
