This year, the Philippine National AIDS Council will lead the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial on May 23, 2024, at the San Lazaro Hospital Dome. The theme, "PUT PEOPLE FIRST: Kandila ng Pagkalinga, Liwanag ng Pag-asa", serves as a reminder of the importance of compassion and hope in our fight against HIV and AIDS. This memorial is a moment to remember those we've lost to AIDS and to show our unwavering support for those living with HIV. It highlights the human aspect of the epidemic, urging us to prioritize care, understanding, and support for all affected. Let's embrace this opportunity to spread awareness, fight stigma, and advocate for better healthcare and resources for those living with HIV. Join us in spirit on this significant day as we stand together, united in our commitment to end the HIV epidemic and bring light to those in need. #IACM2024 #PutPeopleFirst #PNAC
