Coalition PLUS was founded in 2008 by four HIV/AIDS associations: AIDES in France, ALCS in Morocco, ARCAD-SIDA in Mali and COCQ-SIDA in Québec. It brings together community associations, mostly francophone, that share the same values and objectives: universal access to care, treatment and prevention, fighting stigmatization and criminalization of HIV-positive people, and advocacy of populations most at risk of infection (migrants, homosexuals, sex workers, drug users, etc.).
