International AIDS Memorial Day

The annual International AIDS Memorial Day (IAMD), also known as the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial (IACM), is the largest and oldest grassroots mobilisation campaign to enhance HIV/AIDS awareness in the world. This year marks the 25th year of the event worldwide.

The IAMD, or the IACM, is more than a remembrance event. It serves as an opportunity to educate on HIV/AIDS, create community dialogue and awareness on HIV/AIDS and the myriad of issues surrounding it, including stigma and discrimination, prevention, care and support, and treatment for the People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV).

This event, which will be held locally, also supports and inspires new PLHIVs who will be attending their first IAMD. Besides that, our Partner Organisations (POs) are carrying out 13 activities this year with their own communities.

This year, the Malaysian AIDS Council plans to open the IAMD to the public.

 Date   :    Saturday, May 31, 2008

Time    :    7.30pm – 9.30pm

Venue:    One Utama Shopping Centre, New Wing (main entrance)
