Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit
The gala's highlight will be an auction to raise money for the TREAT Asia (Therapeutics Research, Education, and AIDS Training in Asia) project.
And on Monday Mette-Marit will open the Youth Pavillion of the World AIDS conference on July 18-23.
On the guest list of this year's Life Ball, an annual fashion-show-cum-party-event marking its 18th anniversary this year, are Hollywood actress Whoopi Goldberg and former US president Bill Clinton.
Last year, the Life Ball raised close to 1.5 million euros (two million dollars), which are distributed each year to various projects to combat the disease and help its victims.
The 18th World AIDS conference in Vienna will bring together some 25,000 experts, health professionals and policy makers to discuss progress in fighting AIDS and look at ways to provide further prevention and treatment against the HIV virus which causes it.
