BEIRUT — “This is not simply a candlelight event. It is a celebration, albeit a painful one, as we commemorate people who have passed away because of [AIDS], but there is some joy and hope for the people living with it,” said Nadia Badran, executive director of SIDC (Soins Infirmiers et Developpement Communautaire), at a candlelight memorial for those infected with AIDS virus.
SIDC provides health care, treatment and support to people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS [PLWH].
