ART, lies and videotape
It is estimated that over 300, 000 HIV-positive South Africans who could have lived long and healthy lives on ART, died from the effects of uncontrolled HIV infection, during the Mbeki-Manto HIV misinformation era.
The TAC’s campaign which fought and eventually won out against this menace is the subject of ‘TAC-Taking Haart’ a film reviewed in today’s Mail & Guardian by Shaun de Waal.
The TAC and the CD4 score
In the late 1990s to the early 2000s the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) led the civil disobedience campaign, taking the government to court in a bid to force Mbeki and his cabinet to provide the ARV nevirapine to HIV-positive pregnant women in the public sector.
Years later and the TAC continues to push the envelope of HIV treatment.
