A photography exhibit titled "Famous Armenians Against AIDS," which
will showcase work by Karen Grigoryan, will open on December 1 in
Yervan’s Moscow Cinema.

This event dedicated to the fight against AIDS, conceived by journalist
Mher Baghdasaryan, includes photographs of 40 famous Armenian
individuals from different walks of life, including well-known
entertainers such as Shushan Petrosyan, Andre, Erik, Mari Aksel,
Noor and many others.

After the exhibit’s opening ceremony, free condoms and information
booklets will be distributed to attendees. The event will then
continue at KAMI Club, where Armenia’s only known female DJ, Vaksina,
will spin at the NO AIDS event.

The NO AIDS initiative is supported by UNAIDS (joint United Nations
programme on HIV/AIDS) and the NGO SAMSA (Scientific Association of
Medical Students of Armenia).

World AIDS Day is observed every year on December 1. This year’s
theme is Universal Access and Human Rights. Other initiatives to
mark this day in Armenia include an event organized by PINK Armenia
(Public Information and Need of Knowledge) titled "Stop the Counter"
on December 1 from 4 to 7 pm near Komitas’ statue at the intersection
of Sayat-Nova and Mastots streets (near Opera) in Yerevan.
