Singapore AIDS Candlelight Memorial
The AIDS Candlelight Memorial is one of the world’s oldest and largest grassroots mobilisation campaigns for HIV awareness in the world.
Started in 1983, the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial takes place every third Sunday in May and is led by a coalition of some 1,200 community organisations in 115 countries.
With the advancement of HIV management and treatment over the last decade, its purpose has changed. Today, the memorial serves as an important event to remind people that HIV is still a serious issue and the fight against HIV/AIDS must continue.
