Zackie Achmat—Co-founder, Treatment Action Campaign, South Africa
In South Africa, one in every four sexually active adults is HIV-positive. For many, treatment is financially out of reach. AIDS activist Zackie Achmat founded the Treatment Action Campaign. Zackie is HIV-positive himself but refused to take anti-retroviral pills (ARVs) until the government provided them for all South Africans who needed them. After several years of deteriorating health, Zackie finally started taking his pills when the government announced it would provide ARVs in 2003.
