Modern ART for South Africa
New treatment literacy materials for people living with HIV
and their communities
The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), in collaboration with groups. Information on how to order these is available on
HIV i-Base, UK, have launched a new website, app and the website: https://modernartforsouthafrica.co.za
YouTube channel.
These resources provide basic information on antiretroviral
treatment, as well as treatment for co-infections. Everything
has been developed with and for communities.
The free app also includes handy tools to help people
manage and track their treatment, including a reminder to
take their antiretrovirals (ARVs) and a test result tracker.
The YouTube channel shows short films, put together during
lockdown to replace TAC’s face-to-face treatment literacy
training at facilities and community groups. New ones are
added every week or so.
Modern ART materials also include posters and booklets,
which will be available free for clinics and community
