The Sidaction association is concerned about young people’s lack of knowledge about AIDS and its modes of transmission. According to a IFOP survey published in November 2023, 30% of 15-24 year olds think that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), responsible for AIDS, can be transmitted by kissing a seropositive person, that is to say infected with HIV. A figure increasing by 13 points compared to the same survey carried out the previous year. A lack of information which can be dangerous and contribute to fueling the stigmatization of HIV-positive people.

To learn more about how HIV-positive people live with HIV, we refer you to the testimonies below.
