TAC: Treatment Action Campaign

TAC is an organization in South Africa. It campaigns for the access of HIV/AIDS treatment for the people.

South Africa has been identified as one of the countries with the most number of people who are HIV/AIDS positive. Because of this, TAC initiated campaigns for access of HIV/AIDS treatments that will be funded by the government.

One of the achievement of TAC happened in 2002 when the Constitutional Court ruled that the South African government provide anti-retroviral drugs.

Anti-retroviral drugs are to be taken by pregnant women who are AIDS positive. These drugs are designed to prevent the transmission of AIDS from the mother to their babies during childbirth.
