On World Aids Day, we will reflect on South Africa’s fight against AIDS denialism and for equal access to treatment. We’ll screen the movie “Taking HAART”, a documentary that chronicles the Treatment Action Campaign’s (TAC) fight to ensure that every person living with HIV has access to quality comprehensive prevention and treatment services to live a healthy life.

Zackie Achmat will give a brief talk about this journey before the screening. He is a co-founder of the Treatment Action Campaign and is known worldwide for his activism on behalf of people living with HIV and AIDS in South Africa.
