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, according to the Global Health Council which co-ordinates the event worldwide. 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)

Highlights of the event, which will be graced by Deputy Health Minister Datuk Dr Abdul Latiff Ahmad, include:

Performance by local artistes
Showcase by People Living with HIV (PLHIV)
Candle lighting

The focus of this year’s IAMD is:

Widen the network of PLHIV community by ensuring participation by HIV infected and affected people who have never attended IAMD to join this year’s event Highlight hope for those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS; and Motive for active participation in advocacy at every level on HIV/AIDS related issues.

Quotes: “This is the first time we are celebrating IAMD with the community in an open door concept. I hope this will empower People Living with HIV (PLHIV) and raise awareness amongst us all” says Professor Dr. Adeeba Kamarulzaman, President of Malaysian AIDS Council & Chairman of Malaysian AIDS Foundation.

“IAMD will give us an platform to rededicate ourselves to the fight against HIV/AIDS” says Datuk Mohd Zaman Khan, IAMD Organising Chairman & Malaysian AIDS Foundation Trustee.
