TAG’s updated An Activist’s Guide to the LAM Test provides important messaging and strategies to support in-country advocacy and activism. LAM testing has been available and recommended by the WHO since 2015, yet uptake within national TB and HIV programs remains limited. This guide seeks to help advocates and activists ensure that this life-saving test is made available wherever people living with HIV present to care.
