3. ? CTAC is Canada¡¯s national, non-governmental organization
led by and for people living with HIV and Viral Hepatitis co-
infection, focusing on enabling access to treatment.
? In operation since 1996, CTAC has recently completed an
organizational renewal process to ensure we meet our
organizational goals to meaningfully engage community
members, service providers, policymakers and other
relevant stakeholders to identify, develop and implement
policy and program solutions.
? CTAC understands that treatment access should be
considered in it¡¯s holistic form, encompassing the range of
treatment, care and support needs required to reach the
most successful treatment experience possible for people
living with HIV or those co-infected with Viral Hepatitis.
