MISSION MOMENT

On World AIDS Day, we come together to remember the lives lost and to celebrate the progress made in combating the HIV and AIDS epidemic. In countries like Malawi, despite enormous progress, challenges persist. PWS&D, along with local partners, is ensuring that HIV testing services are available and that people have access to oral quick-test kits—a crucial tool for HIV prevention and early detection. Additionally, adolescent outreach clinics are being established to distribute condoms, helping ensure that young people can access safe sexual health options. As we mark World AIDS Day, we are reminded that the fight is not over. With continued collaboration, we can move closer to a future where HIV and AIDS are no longer prevalent.
