07  04.2026 The key concept of Health Day is "healthy lifestyle." The 2026 holiday's motto is "Together for Health. Together with Science." The motto is to demonstrate that human health is linked to nutrition, exercise, prevention, ecology, infection safety, and the quality of scientific solutions.

On April 7, 2026, E.E. Kuzovatova, an employee of the Volga District Center for AIDS Prevention and Control at the Nizhny Novgorod Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology named after Academician I.N. Blokhina of Rospotrebnadzor, held a discussion with students at the Nizhny Novgorod branch of the College of the Private Educational Institution of Higher Education, the Moscow University named after S.Yu. Witte, on the topic "What Everyone Should Know About HIV Infection."

Thirty students participated in the event. Participants learned about the development of the HIV epidemic in Russia and globally, the epidemiological situation in the Nizhny Novgorod Region, and discussed the main routes of HIV transmission. Particular attention was paid to the need for responsible behavior in relationships with partners, the dangers of promiscuous sex, the importance of personal hygiene, and the use of personal protective equipment. To stay healthy, young people should monitor their behavior, avoid situations that put them at risk for infection, abstain from psychoactive substance use, and lead a healthy lifestyle.

World Health Day is an excellent opportunity to reflect on your lifestyle and take the first step toward improving your health. It's important to always remember that taking care of your health shouldn't be a one-time initiative, but a daily choice!
