This is an archive of the Treatment Action Campaign's public documents from
December 1998 until October 2008. I created this website because the TAC's
website appears unmaintained and people were concerned that it
was becoming
increasingly hard to find important documents.
The menu items have
been slightly edited and a new stylesheet applied to the site. But none of the
documents have been edited, not even for minor errors. The text appears on this
site as obtained from the Internet Archive.
The period covered by
the archive encompassed the campaign for HIV medicines, the civil disobedience
campaigns, the Competition Commission complaints, the 2008 xenophobic violence
and the PMTCT, Khayelitsha health workers and Matthias Rath court cases.
NB: We have planned major improvements to the campaigns part of the website.
TAC campaigns for access to medicines for all people with HIV, to prevent new HIV infections and for a better public health system. We run a large treatment literacy programme, which provides scientifically accurate information to people with or at risk of HIV, their family, friends and supporters on the prevention and treatment of HIV. We also run a women's health campaign, an international solidarity campaign (whose current focus is on health in Zimbabwe) and a people with HIV mobilisation campaign. TAC has a policy, communications and research department, whose aim is to develop and provide scientifically accurate information about the epidemic to all people.
