Health GAP Action Network (Global Access Project) - Health GAP Action Network is an organization of U.S.-based AIDS and human rights activists, people living with HIV/AIDS, public health experts, fair trade advocates and concerned individuals who campaign against policies of neglect and avarice that deny treatment to millions and fuel the spread of HIV. Members are dedicated to eliminating barriers to global access to affordable life-sustaining medicines for people living with HIV/AIDS as key to a comprehensive strategy to confront and ultimately stop the AIDS pandemic. Health GAP Action Network believes that the human right to life and to health must prevail over the pharmaceutical industry's excessive profits and expanding patent rights.

International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC) - The international Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC) is a worldwide coalition of people living with HIV/AIDS and their advocates.

We work to achieve these goals at the local, regional and international level. To participate in ITPC and its list serve contact itpc@apnplus.org.
