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.

How to contribute

The TAC Treatment Project relies mostly on the donations of individuals who recognize the important contribution antiretrovirals make to people's lives. Antiretroviral therapy is a life-long treatment, therefore the TAC TP commits to treating each patient for at least five years. In order to ensure the sustainability of the programme, each contributor is requested to make a regular monthly contribution. Please bear this in mind when deciding how to contribute to the Treatment Project. You can also make an annual or even a single donation. (International contributors, please click here.)

All contributors, please email us at so that we can place you on our database and keep you up to date with developments at the TAC Treatment Project.
