Island to try and raise awareness
Several landmarks on the Island will turn red later on World Aids Day.
The Manx Government "wedding cake" building in Douglas, the power station, the swing bridge and the Court House area in Ramsey will be lit up this evening.
Isle of Man HIV Support Group Coordinator Tony Watterson says the day is about highlighting many aspects of the condition:-
Government engaging with UK over international ferry levy plans
Isle of Man won't be affected by July 2026 changes to domestic voyages
Bottleneck car park shut over safety concerns
Council cites increased risk of storm surges as winds shift overnight
Forecasters warn of snow over higher ground later
Higher routes such as Mountain Road could be affected by slight accumulations
Dementia demand assessment underway as Public Health forecasting future need
Figures suggest Island prevalence of 0.7 percent, as government acknowledges demand likely to rise due to aging population
