Documents, photos and videos show the milestones of Ex Æquo’s work “for the health of men who have sex with men”.
So the association supported HIV in its major developments, including post-exposure treatment (PET) – which makes it possible to stop contamination if it starts as quickly as possible and within 72 hours of the risk – or even Prep, preventive treatment. which prevents infection with the AIDS virus in people who are HIV negative.
The name of the exhibition refers to the difficulty of access to health that still exists for LGBTQ+ people. “Medical coming out is often necessary, and to explain our way of life is to expose ourselves to possible judgment, so many people who are intelligent prefer their biases to hide sexuality from health professionals,” explained the president of the non-profit organization Pablo Sanz Moreno. .
In addition to this difficulty, for people with HIV, they sometimes fear “coming from another age” in the medical world.
“We can never do it again.
Ex Æquo also points to the lack of public funding. “When sex between men still accounts for 43% of HIV infections in 2022, we regret that public funding is not proportionate,” said Pablo Sanz Moreno.
