thumb|right AIDES is a French community-based non-profit organisation that was founded in 1984 by Daniel Defert, following the death of his partner Michel Foucault from HIV/AIDS. The name is a play on "aides" (French for "help") and the English acronym "AIDS".
Its aim is to bring people living with HIV/AIDS, together with their loved ones and peers, into an organised entity dedicated to fighting HIV/AIDS, and to defend the rights of people and communities affected by the disease.
