FAC Activist Workshop: Advocacy to Reduce AIDS Deaths

On 8 December 2021, the Fight AIDS Coalition (FAC) held a workshop on advocacy to reduce AIDS deaths. We have the tools to prevent AIDS deaths, but people continue to die of AIDS. We need to confront the policy gaps, lack of access to life-saving tools and services, and the invisibility around AIDS deaths. Specifically, we need to increase accountability and attention for the number 1 and 2 drivers of deaths among people living with HIV (PLHIV): tuberculosis and cryptococcal meningitis. The workshop was organized by the HIV Policy Lab team, GNP+, Health GAP, ITPC, MSF, TAC, and TAG.
