  • Vers Paris sans sida Vers Paris sans sida
    Vers Paris sans sida Vers Paris sans sida

    One year after the Paris Declaration, in partnership with UNAIDS, Paris has taken the leadership of committed cities around the goal of ending the HIV epidemic by 2030. In this context, the epidemiologist France LERT has made to the Mayor of Paris in February 2016 a report aiming at enabling Paris to reach the intermediate target of 90-90-90 in 2020: 90% of HIVpositive screened – 90% of screened patients put under treatment – 90% of patients treated with an undetectable viral load.

    On 18 May 2016, the Paris Council approved a deliberation on the implementation of this report and on the co-creation by the City of Paris of an association called “Towards Paris without aids” whose purpose is to raise public and private funds to finance the actions needed to end the HIV epidemic in Paris.

    The strategy adopted by the City of Paris and the HIV actors in Paris is a positive and inclusive strategy, moving from prevention of risky behavior to sexual health and real equality. It is a question of adapting the proposed means of action to the various groups exposed, to their epidemiology and their way of life.

    The aim of the Association Vers Paris sans sida is to raise public and private funds to finance the actions implemented as part of this strategy, in order to finance any action to achieve the above objectives. The funding aims to promote access to screening, care, treatment and rights by focusing on community health systems targeting the populations most affected by the HIV / aids epidemic.

    Any action directly or indirectly related to the above purpose falls within the vocation of the Association, including communication actions on the means of combined prevention, fight against discrimination and for inclusion and the good -being LGBT populations particularly vulnerable to HIV.
