Members of the public can commemorate World Aids Day at Victoria Park in Hamilton on Monday.

Kim Wilson, the Minister of Health, will speak during the event from 1pm to 2pm, as will Joshua Samuels, executive director of OutBermuda and Carolyn Armstrong, executive director of the HIV/Aids charity Star.

This commemoration, themed “Overcoming disruption — Transforming the Aids response”, will also feature the unveiling of the Aids memorial quilt to commemorate those impacted by the disease and by HIV.

Ms Wilson said: “World Aids Day is a time for us to stand together in solidarity, honour those we have lost and renew our commitment to ending HIV/Aids.

“I encourage everyone to come out, show support and wear red as a symbol of awareness and unity.”

She added: “Join us as we reaffirm that Aids is not over. Together, we can transform the response and build a healthier Bermuda.”
