For 20 years, Sidaction has been supporting research programs and assisting AIDS patients. On April 4, 5, and 6, 2014, the association fighting against AIDS is once again conducting public awareness days and calling for donations.
Since its creation in 1994 by actress Line Renaud and businessman and philanthropist Pierre Bergรฉ, Sidaction has enabled numerous medical advancements thanks to the donations collected. In 20 years, Sidaction has distributed no less than 300 million euros to research, care, prevention, and assistance to patients.
However, the fight is not yet won: nearly 6,400 people discover their HIV status each year, 12% of whom are under 25 years old.
Thus, 150,000 French people are carriers of the AIDS virus, and researchers still have not found a vaccine.
As a result, on April 4, 5, and 6, Sidaction is mobilizing once again across France.
The goal: to collect even more donations. 3.6 million euros were donated to research in 2013.
In Nice, midwifery students are mobilizing on April 5th at Place Garibaldi from 10 AM to 4 PM. On the agenda: information booths, fundraising, and a flash mob at 11 AM.
