For the first time Sidaction and Aidsfonds are pleased to jointly launch a call for scientific proposals on the theme of HIV CURE with an overall budget of 2 million euros.
This initiative, the fruit of an unprecedented collaboration between the two organisations, aims to mobilise researchers from France, the Netherlands and African countries around this crucial issue for global health. The goal of this ambitious initiative is to foster collaboration between researchers, institutions, and communities, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary and collaborative research on the cure for HIV.
With this call, we aim to fund research ultimately leading to biomedical breakthroughs, social acceptance of cure interventions and promotion of an HIV cure available to the maximum of people living with HIV worldwide.
The call is open to projects including in silico, in vitro, pre-clinical, social, economic, or clinical research. Interdisciplinary and collaborative research is encouraged. Larger projects (>300k EUR) should be multidisciplinary (combining basic, translational, and/or social research) and ideally integrate multi-country collaborations.

Rutgers and Aidsfonds – Soa Aids Nederland Join Forces to Advance Sexual Health
Today, 1 July 2026, Rutgers and Aidsfonds – Soa Aids Nederland have formally entered into an administrative merger. Under a shared leadership structure, we are working together towards a single strategic direction for sexual health in the Netherlands and around the world. As an important step towards a full legal merger, this development strengthens our joint commitment to health, wellbeing and human rights.
Our new organisation is dedicated to creating a world in which everyone can make free and safe choices about their bodies, relationships and sexuality, and where no one dies of AIDS.

A crucial moment in the fight against AIDS: world leaders are gathering in New York on Monday and Tuesday for the UN High-Level Meeting on HIV and AIDS. Aidsfonds is present to increase pressure on governments. It is essential that governments commit to an inclusive HIV response with adequate funding.
