Sidaction

Sidaction is a French organization dedicated to raising funds and awareness in the fight against HIV/AIDS. It supports research, provides care, and funds aid programs for people living with HIV, both in France and internationally, particularly in Africa. Sidaction is currently newsworthy as it held its 32nd annual fundraising event in March 2026. While the organization collected 3.6 million euros in promised donations during the 2026 campaign, this figure represents a decrease compared to the previous year, raising concerns about funding levels. The event also coincides with growing concerns about declining international funding for HIV/AIDS initiatives. Furthermore, the availability of bi-monthly injectable PrEP in France, a less burdensome alternative to daily pills, is highlighted as a positive development in HIV prevention, underscoring Sidaction's ongoing relevance in a changing landscape of treatment and prevention.
