Meridian will mark World AIDS Day with an early morning gathering at the AIDS Garden of Reflection at the National Arboretum Canberra, followed by tea and coffee. The event is an opportunity to come together in solidarity with people living with HIV, remember those we have lost to AIDS-related illness, and reflect on the ongoing work to end HIV stigma and discrimination.
