We are currently focusing our efforts to fight COVID-19, without forgetting research into the eradication of HIV/AIDS and infectious diseases. Find out how you can help us.
Visit our Transparency section to see where we get our resources and how we use them
We apply a combined strategy to the eradication of HIV/AIDS
We investigate viral mechanisms and disease progression
Research into HIV/AIDS has led us down other biomedical research pathways
Financially aiding research into HIV/AIDS is now even more advantageous, given the new tax framework in force since 2015.
Both individuals and companies can deduct donations from their annual income or corporate tax statement.
Some examples:
Mr. Martinez made donations worth €1,000 (in 2014), €1,500 (in 2015) and €2,000 (in 2016). In his income tax statement for 2016 he can deduct 75% of the first €150 (€112.50) and 35% of the rest up to a maximum of €2,000 (€647.50)
A company called Axiac made donations worth €1,000 (in 2014), €1,500 (in 2015) and €2,000 (in 2016). In its corporate tax statement for 2016 it can deduct 40% of the donation up to a maximum of €2,000 (€800).

"I once said I needed 50,000 euros to hire an investigator to launch a new line of research on the gut microbiome, an area that affects many biomedical fields. The person I was speaking to looked at me and said: ‘I’ll give you the money to hire three investigators.’ Thanks to this person we now have our Microbial Genomics group. "

"A few years ago on the radio I explained how we were looking to fund a device to measure the viral reservoir with much greater accuracy and sensitivity than the equipment we had at the time. Research into the viral reservoir is crucial to HIV eradication. After leaving the radio station, I got a call from someone who offered me the 70,000 euros I needed to buy the equipment. This help was crucial and thanks to this person’s generosity we are making great progress in developing eradication strategies. "

"I remember how I once gave a talk to relatives of patients. It was in the late 1990s; IrsiCaixa would only have been founded three or four years earlier. And there was a great deal of ignorance about AIDS compared to now. At the end of the talk a woman came up to me and offered me 10,000 pesetas in an envelope. Her son had died of AIDS six months previously and had said he wanted to do something to help any mother avoid what she had gone through. She even apologized for not being able to give more. For me, the worth of that 10,000 pesetas is incalculable."
