Abstract

The work of the community-based Candle (Svecha) Foundation in St Petersburg began informally in 2001, when a small team of activists came together to run a mutual help group for people living with HIV. At the time, although HIV had already begun to spread rapidly through Russia, treatment and services for HIV and AIDS through the country's underfunded and poorly resourced state health-care system were limited.
