Join TAG on April 16 at 8:30 a.m. ET for a practical webinar on drug safety monitoring in TB treatment. Learn how to identify side effects, support patient safety, and understand pharmacovigilance in the context of newer, all-oral DR-TB regimens.
TAG condemns the United States’ war in Iran and neighboring countries. At a time when U.S. investment in public health is being slashed, the Trump administration has chosen to spend billions of dollars per day on weapons used in a war of choice for which no credible rationale has been proposed. Our government should invest in our communities by spending funds that were already appropriated and illegally impounded by the White House Office of Management and Budget to keep people healthy, rather than starting new wars that put the entire world’s health at risk.
TAG condemns the White House’s proposed retroactive $600 million cuts to CDC programs in four states. Because Congress already appropriated these funds, the cuts are illegal and unconstitutional, threatening HIV and public health programs nationwide. Congress must reject these partisan attacks and protect public health funding.
This National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, Act Now: End AIDS and TAG uplift the truth: Black people are disproportionately impacted by HIV, and equity-driven solutions are essential. Ending the HIV epidemic requires confronting racism, expanding access to prevention and care, and ensuring that Black communities are centered, visible, and supported in public health efforts.
New tuberculosis (TB) vaccines could be realized as soon as 2028 — radically reshaping the journey to eliminate TB. Communities and civil society organizations are poised to play a vital role in the introduction of a future TB vaccine as central protagonists of this next chapter for TB elimination.
This year revealed how far this administration is willing to go in undermining public health. The White House refused to recognize World AIDS Day. Global and domestic HIV, TB, and HCV programs were directly threatened, and many were terminated. Senior CDC leaders resigned rather than carry out political firings or oversee the degradation of national vaccine guidance. And in August, a vigilante encouraged by political rhetoric fired nearly 500 rounds into the CDC campus in Atlanta and killed a police officer. The President has still not publicly acknowledged the attack.
TAGLine 2025 documents a year of action as Treatment Action Group defended science, confronted attacks on public health, and fought to protect communities impacted by HIV, TB, and HCV.
On Friday, RFK Jr’s vaccine denialist-dominated Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to no longer recommend immediate post-partum / birth vaccination of babies with hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine.
Public financing and domestic resources for health are straining under debt burdens as countries struggle to build up domestic revenues in the face of weak tax systems and volatile markets.
