May 17 is the World Day of Remembrance for those who have died of AIDS.
Today, May 17, 2026, the AIDS Center of the Republic of Tatarstan joins the World Day of Remembrance for those who have died of AIDS, which is celebrated annually on the third Sunday of May.
This memorial date is about two things at once. On one hand, we remember those who are no longer with us; on the other hand, we thank science, doctors, and the patients themselves for the fact that today, living with HIV is no longer a story with a bad ending.
Just 30 years ago, the diagnosis of "HIV" sounded like a death sentence; today, everything is different. An HIV-positive patient receiving antiretroviral therapy lives as long as a person without HIV, works, travels, falls in love, creates happy families, and gives birth to healthy children. This is a huge step forward!
The Day of Remembrance is not about fear. It is a reminder: the disease is nearby, but it is manageable. HIV is not shame, weakness, or punishment. It is just a virus that we have learned to control.
The best way to honor the memory of those who have passed is to take care of yourself and those around you. Regularly get tested for HIV, know your status, and, most importantly, remember - timely initiated therapy saves lives.
The World Day of Remembrance for those who have died of AIDS is in memory of those who are not here. In support of those who live a full life with HIV today. No one should be left alone with their diagnosis. No one should be forgotten.
