Globally, 35 million people live with HIV, and 19 million of these do not know they are HIV-positive. Although HIV infections have dropped by 38% since 2001, there were 2.1 million people newly infected in 2013. Young women and adolescent girls are disproportionately at high risk, as more than 4 out of 10 new infections among women occur in 15-24 year olds. There are also 22 million people with the disease who are not accessing life-saving treatment. Come to the ASK Wellness Society (433 Tranquille Road) on December 1, to honour and commemorate those lost to AIDS and those who continue to live with the effects of HIV/AIDS in addition to mark the achievements made in the fight against HIV/AIDS. 3:30 Open House 4:00 Announcements and Memorial 4:00 Live Music and Appetizers 5:00 Prayer and Candle Light Vigil No RSVP Required
