The service commemorates those whose lives have been affected by HIV/AIDS.Candles will be provided for a memorial reading. At midnight, a university carillonneur will play from the tower, ushering in tomorrow's World AIDS Day.Of the 2,680 HIV/AIDS cases in Kansas, 64 were reported in Douglas County in 2007.
