European AIDS Treatment Group

Geschiedenis

Founded in 1992, the European AIDS Treatment Group (EATG) is a European network of nationally-based activists. As a European patient-led advocacy organisation, it has been at the forefront of the development of the civil society response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Europe. It represents and defends the treatment-related interests of people living with HIV and AIDS.

EATG is a voluntary organisation made up of 105 members from over 36 different European countries. Our members are representatives of different communities affected by HIV/AIDS in Europe. Our activities focus on treatment activism and treatment advocacy.

In responding to HIV, the EATG also considers diseases frequently seen as co-infection in people with HIV, as well as other health issues that increase the risk of HIV.

The EATG’s primary geographic focus is the member states served by the World Health Organisation (WHO) Regional Office for Europe. However, the EATG does consider opportunities to collaborate with and support similar efforts in other parts of the world.
