Treatment Action Campaign
The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) is a South African HIV/AIDS activist organisation which was co-founded by the HIV-positive activist Zackie Achmat in 1998.〔(Zackie Acmat: Profile ) Chris McGreal, ''The Guardian'' 12 September 2008. Accessed 20 September 2008.〕 TAC is rooted in the experiences, direct action tactics and anti-apartheid background of its founder.〔 TAC has been credited with forcing the reluctant government of former South African President Thabo Mbeki to begin making antiretroviral drugs available to South Africans.〔. Mavis Makuni, Financial Gazette, 27 September 2008. Accessed 30 September 2008.〕 TAC is aligned to but often critical of the ruling African National Congress.〔(in the History of Patient Driven AIDS Activism ), by Mandisa Mbali in ''Challenging Hegemony'', edited by Nigel Gibson, Africa World Press, 2006〕
==Founding==
The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) was launched on 10 December 1998, International Human Rights Day. Zackie Achmat, whom ''The New Yorker'' calls "the most important dissident in the country since Nelson Mandela", joined with a group of ten other activists to found the group after anti-apartheid gay rights activist Simon Nkoli died from AIDS even as highly active antiretroviral therapy was available to wealthy South Africans.〔"The AIDS Rebel: South African AIDS activist Zackie Achmat", ''The New Yorker'', 19 May 2003.〕 Shortly thereafter, prompted by the murder of HIV-positive activist Gugu Dlamini, HIV-positive and HIV-negative members of the new group began wearing the group's now-famous T-shirts with the words "HIV Positive" printed boldly in front, a strategy inspired by the apocryphal story of the Danish king wearing the yellow star marking Jews under Nazi occupation. Achmat also became famous for his pledge to not take antiretroviral medicines until all South Africans could obtain them.〔"S. African AIDS activist makes a striking impact; Zackie Achmat inspires L.A. audiences and celebrates a triumph won at home." Anne-Marie O'Connor, ''The Los Angeles Times'', 24 November 2003.〕
Quickly outgrowing its start among a small group of Cape Town activists, a number of whom had political roots in the Marxist Workers Tendency of the ANC,〔(COSATU and the Liberals ), Jeremy Cronin, 17 November 2010]〕 TAC became a much more broadly based group, with chapters in many regions of the nation and a largely black and poor constituency.〔(in the Time of AIDS ), by Mark Hunter, UKZN Press, 2010〕 The group campaigns for greater access to HIV treatment for all South Africans by raising public awareness and understanding about issues surrounding the availability, affordability and use of HIV treatments.
The Treatment Action Campaign produces Equal Treatment, a magazine dedicated to HIV and health issues.
