WASSERBILLIG, Germany—To mark World AIDS Day on Dec. 1, pjur group will join “berlinpositiv e.V.” and other organizations and partners to send a signal against the discrimination of HIV-infected people. And to help remember, a monument will be unveiled at the Urania in Berlin-Schöneberg on Nov. 30 at 7 p.m.
