WORLD AIDS DAY
Friday, December 1, 2023
This is the 35th Anniversary of World AIDS Day. This year’s theme is “Remember and Commit.”
This annual event serves as a reminder of the global struggle to end HIV-related stigma, an opportunity to honor those we have lost, and a rallying cry to commit to working toward a day when HIV is no longer a public health threat.
We will be holding an internal candlelit service with clients, staff and board in memory of those we have lost and in hope for a future free of HIV/AIDS.
