This signature is part of an international movement, the "Prevention Access Campaign":  #U=U.  In Monaco, the theme of the "U=U #Undetectable = Untransmittable" communication campaign is known as "I = I" ("Indétectable = Intransmissible").

Two Monegasque associations that are involved in combating AIDS, the Monegasque Red Cross and Amade, as well as two medical experts, Mr. Gervais Dionne, a co-discoverer of 3TC (one of the main molecules used in treating HIV) and Dr. Bruno Taillan, Vice-President of Fight Aids Monaco, a specialist in internal medicine and haematologist at the CHPG, have added their signatures.

The "I=I" campaign was officially launched on Saturday 1 December, World AIDS Day.

On the same day, Fight Aids Monaco signed the "I=I" agreement and held a display of quilts at the Oceanographic Museum in tribute of those who have died of AIDS.

In the evening, during a warm-up for the match between AS Monaco Football Club and the Montpellier Hérault Sporting Club, which counts towards the 15^th day of the French Premier League championship, the Monegasque players all wore t-shirts embossed with the campaign logo.
