“A slow degradation.” Sidaction opens its 31st edition this Friday, March 21, March 21. With two words of surveillance: “Put the package” in the investigation, throw “a shout of alarm” on the situation in the world and put an end to the false beliefs that exploit, especially among young people.
According to a new opinionway survey for the association, misinformation reaches records among children under 25. According to their “alarming” results, 42% of young people think that HIV can be transmitted by a kiss (+12 points in a year), 31% drinking in the vessel of a positive HIV person (+6). 40% think there is an HIV vaccine.
“We have been carrying out this survey since 2015 and the indicators constantly deteriorate,” Deplora Sandrine Fournier, director of the Sidaction Association Financing Center.
According to her, the Covid-19 Pandemia has accelerated what it describes as “slow degradation.” “For two years, there was no help, HIV was completely absent.”
False proliferated information among young people, when good practices are fighting. According to the study commissioned by Sidaction, 36% of children under 25 years of age did a test in the year. On the prevention side, one in three young people does not use a condom, remember that they are free in pharmacies for those under 26, and the use of preparation remains insufficient.

If it is possible to live with HIV when it is under treatment, AIDS still does not heal with the total elimination of the virus, and it remains much progress for prevention, detection or access to attention, even in France.
Donations to Sidation, possible by telephone, SMS or the Internet, are used to finance research, attention, assistance programs for people living with HIV, France and abroad. The 2024 edition gathered 3.87 million euros in donation promises, an amount similar to the previous year.
“The road to the end of AIDS remains full of difficulties,” in the same opinion of Onusida. The objective of achieving this in 2030 is even more committed to US decisions.
“The incredible US decisions refer to the 20-year-old anti-VIH fight,” it is a scream of alarm, “said Florence Thune, director of Sidaction, before the 31st edition, which lasts until Sunday, of this charitable event supported by about thirty televisions and radios.” Fortunately, it is not only the United States that finances the projects (…) The EU is extremely Involved, “Karine Lacombe infected Thursday.
