On Monday 30 November from 9.05 pm, Carole Gaessler will present a continuous evening on France 3 on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the fight against HIV.
Despite the mobilization of the health crisis that is affecting us around Covid-19, it is important not to forget that the AIDS epidemic is still present. On the eve of World AIDS Day, France 3 mobilizes its antenna with the transmission of a special evening on November 30th from 9.05 pm, against the trivialization of the epidemic.
Outstanding and moving release of the film “120 beats per minute” followed by a great debate that marks 30 years of struggle.
21:05 “120 beats per minute”
Early 1990s. While AIDS has been killing people for nearly ten years, Act Up-Paris activists are stepping up action to combat general indifference. Between them, Nathan, a newcomer to the group, will be overwhelmed by the radical nature of Sean.
A fresco that overwhelms, upsets and galvanizes.
Criticism of the theatrical release
CinemaTeaser through Renan Cro
A film of struggle, of gangs, of tragic love, “120 beats per minute” is not afraid of anything. Neither the romantic, nor the politician, and not even to make films.
The Express through Eric Libiot
The film is so successful, so compelling, so thrilling, so moving that it seems to escape everything, and especially the calculations. 120 BPM is in a state of grace, driven by its own energy, by its own desire. It touches everyone deeply. It is called a great job.
Sunday Newspaper through Barbara Théate
After the heated debates of the weekly meetings, the muscular actions against the pharmaceutical labs and the Mitterrand government, Robin Campillo’s camera gradually focuses on a budding love. Simple and beautiful.
23:30 Debate: “30 in the fight against HIV”
1981 marks the beginning of the global HIV / AIDS epidemic.
There is talk of a massacre, death looms over the sick, hospitals are dying. Patients are calling for an urgent awareness in society of this important public health problem, which is then called “pink plague” or “gay cancer”.
With AIDS for the first time in the history of medicine, patients have emerged in the therapeutic and scientific fields and associations such as Act-Up, Aides, Sidaction have taken up the fight against the epidemic by completely revising the guidelines of the research programs .
Where are we now after 30 years of fighting HIV?
In France, the epidemic remains active with over 6,000 HIV positive discoveries every year, or 17 new infections per day.
Who are those who are now contracting the disease?
What are the tools to fight the epidemic?
Are we informed enough?
What progress has medicine made in treating HIV?
How do you live today when you are HIV positive?
What are the challenges still to be overcome?
Can we hope for a vaccine tomorrow?

Some digits reminders:

Today, 173,000 people are living with HIV in France
In France, an estimated 24,000 people are unaware of their HIV status.
13% of new HIV discoveries concern young people under 25
23% of new HIV-positive findings concern people aged 50 and over
29% is the share of HIV positive findings in an advanced stage of the infection (i.e. when the disease is already declared or with a very low level of CD4 lymphocytes, white blood cells targeted by HIV)
52% of people who found out they were HIV positive in 2018 had never been tested before.
Ifop-Bilendi survey for Sidaction published in March 2018
20% of young people aged 15-24 feel poorly informed about HIV.
1 in 5 young people think you can get infected by kissing someone who is HIV positive or in contact with their sweat, but also that taking the morning-after pill can prevent transmission of the virus.
26% of young people interviewed believe that there are drugs to cure AIDS (NB: we cannot cure AIDS!)
