The Board, staff and volunteers of AIDS Vancouver would like to send our deepest condolences to all those affected by the tragic loss of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 late last week. Though our fight against HIV/AIDS was certainly dealt a blow with the loss of so many dedicated activists, researchers and leaders, we hold solace in knowing that the global effort to find a cure will only strengthen in the face of such senseless loss of life.
