The “I = I” campaign was officially launched on Saturday, December 1st, World AIDS Day. This same day, Fight Aids Monaco signed the “I = I” convention. It also organised the deployment of the quilts in homage to those who died of AIDS at the Oceanographic Museum.

In the evening, during the pre-match warm-up between AS Monaco Football Club and Montpellier Herault Sporting Club, counting for the 15th day of the French Ligue 1 championship, the Monaco players all sported a flocked t-shirt from campaign logo.
