TAG - Treatment Action Group
Treatment Action Group (TAG) is an independent, activist, and community-based research and policy think tank committed to racial, gender, and LGBTQ+ equity; social justice; and liberation, fighting to end HIV, TB, and hepatitis C virus (HCV).
- This #NBHAAD, ANEA and TAG uplift the truth: Black people are disproportionately impacted by HIV, and equity-driven solutions are essential. Ending the epidemic requires confronting racism, expanding access, and ensuring that Black communities are centered, visible, and supported.
