Abigail Erikson 
***********************
 
At the International AIDS Conference (IAC) in Toronto next week, the
AIDS-Care-Watch (ACW) campaign will join its partners and other
treatment activists in demanding for greater access to antiretroviral
treatment (ARVs).  
 
In addition, ACW will be calling for national governments, international
agencies, donors, and others to call for urgent interventions to address
the following care and treatment priorities: 
 
***Reducing HIV-related stigma, especially in the health care setting 
***Greater efforts to integrate tuberculosis and HIV services
***Increased availability to drugs to treat/prevent opportunistic
infections
