Every 3rd of May, Uganda joins the rest of the world in commemorating Candlelight Memorial Day but yesterday Uganda celebrated the #CandlelightMemorialDay at Kitante Hill School, Kololo, under the theme: “Ending AIDS by 2030: Embracing the Role of Women,” and I was honored to be part of it.

With reports showing that, as of December 2024, Uganda still records about 101 new HIV infections every day, I believe events like these play a huge role in sensitizing our communities. As you read this, look forward to the Uganda AIDS Marathon happening this November ahead of World AIDS Day. I will definitely be part of this cause and I hope to see you there too. #CandlelightMemorialDay #EndAIDS2030UG #UgandaAIDSMarathon @TASOUganda

However, the @millybabalanda warned against complacency: young women & girls remain disproportionately affected, stigma, and thousands of new infections are still recorded annually.
“If we relax now, we risk reversing the gains we have made over the last decades,” she cautioned.
