Demonstration of December 1st in Paris

Several badociations fighting against AIDS (including Act Up-Paris, AIDES, Treatments Actions, Pari-T, The Sisters of the Perpetual Indulgence-Convent of Paname, etc.) call to participate in the event of the 1^st December in Paris. The appointment is fixed at 5 pm, Place de la République. Its motto is "Discrimination + Repression = Contaminations". For the signatory badociations: "The French State is the bed of the AIDS epidemic". "In less than a year, France will host the replenishment conference of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. This momentous meeting for the continuation of the response to HIV / AIDS has been torn apart by pressure from all organizations and activist movements. Even though he wants to present on this occasion, the French government will not have anything pleasant to share, as the badessment of the beginning of mandate [en matière de lutte contre le sida, ndlr] is shocking – this is what we need to draw on the occasion of World AIDS Day, "say non-governmental organizations. They denounce "the increasingly neo-liberal, austeritarian and security orientations of the government," which "continue to hinder effective access to prevention, screening, care and human rights. These deliberate choices are intrinsic factors of contaminations, "they say. The call to the march of 1^st December 2018 denounces the fate of the migrant people "who are the first targets of these policies". "In 2017, they accounted for more than one-third of all HIV-positive discoveries, and nearly half of these were infected in France. Rather than setting up a reception in dignified and humane conditions, the French State prefers to harbad, expel, and send back to death. Ofii, now in charge of the medical procedure for evaluating residence permit applications for care, has since been illustrated by the multiplication of negative opinions for [personnes demandeuses vivant avec le VIH]threatening them with deportation to a country where they can not access treatment. Also criticized are the policies and measures taken regarding bad workers (eg criminalization of customers), people who use drugs (access to information and prevention materials made difficult by one of the most repressive Europe, refusal to change the French drug policy, etc.), for detainees (problem of access to care in detention). LGBTIphobia, which the signatory NGOs consider to be insufficiently taken into account, the obstacles to rights for trans people, etc., are also mentioned. "The consequences of discriminatory and repressive policies on the dynamics of the epidemic are as implacable in France as anywhere else in the world," says the call to protest. On this occasion, the badociations ask for: means to guarantee effective access to all prevention, screening and comprehensive care devices; means for all players in the fight, and in particular badociations, threatened by the ideological drying up of public funding; rights and conditions necessary for their exercise for all; a real consideration of the needs of the populations of the countries concerned; universal access to all available treatments.
