A Message of Light, Remembrance, and Unbroken Strength

To our beloved MPG family and communities across Myanmar,

Tonight, as candles begin to glow across the world, we stand together in remembrance, solidarity, and hope.

On this International AIDS Candlelight Memorial, MPG joins communities everywhere in honoring lives lost, celebrating resilience, and renewing our collective commitment to a future free from stigma and discrimination.

This year’s global theme, “LIGHT THE LEGACY: Remember. Advance. Act.”, calls on all of us to carry forward the courage, compassion, and determination of those who came before us.

Remember

Tonight, we remember with love and deep respect the friends, family members, peer leaders, and community pioneers we have lost.

Their strength, kindness, and unwavering spirit helped build the foundation of the HIV response in Myanmar. Though they are no longer physically with us, their voices, dreams, and contributions continue to guide and inspire our movement every day.

Their legacy lives on in every act of care, every hand extended in support, and every life touched through community solidarity.

Advance

We also celebrate the extraordinary resilience and leadership of people living with HIV across generations.

To every member of our network and community:
You are the heart of this movement.

We recognize your courage in navigating challenges, confronting stigma, supporting one another, and continuing to choose hope and health every single day.

If you have ever felt alone or unheard, please remember this: You are part of a strong, compassionate, and unbreakable community. We walk this journey together.

Act

Tonight’s candlelight is also a promise for tomorrow.

We recommit ourselves to action — to advancing dignity, expanding access to care and treatment, strengthening peer support, and ensuring that no one is left behind.

We will continue working toward a Myanmar where every person living with HIV can live with equality, safety, health, and hope.

Because no person is defined by a virus. Every person is defined by their humanity, strength, dreams, and potential.

Let us hold our lights high tonight.
Let us Light the Legacy —
for those we have lost,
for those we love,
and for the stigma-free future we are building together.

With love, respect, and solidarity,

MPG

Since the 1980s, HIV/AIDS has claimed millions of lives.

Today, there is new hope.

WHO’s new guidelines recommending twice yearly injectable lenacapavir for HIV prevention mark a powerful step forward for science, and for solidarity.

Breakthroughs only matter when they reach the people who need them most, and when they change lives.
