In a post-election electronic newsletter, the organisation said it had refused to go along with parties that wanted to make HIV/Aids a party political issue.
However it welcomed the major opposition parties' common view that a comprehensive strategy was required for HIV/Aids.
"We urge the African National Congress to call all parties together in Parliament and to form an all-party group on HIV/Aids to ensure that legislation, regulation and constituency needs are addressed by all legislators," the TAC said.
The TAC said electoral support for the ANC across the country represented an unequivocal mandate for the government to deliver meaningful social improvements.
In the context of the HIV/Aids epidemic this meant building a better public health care system.
It also meant improving government's response to the HIV epidemic by energetically rolling out antiretroviral treatment, treating opportunistic infections, increasing social security and improving and increasing HIV prevention efforts.
It would be tragic if government believed that its increased majority at the polls was a justification for the "unnecessary confusion and confrontation" on HIV/Aids between 1999 and 2003 - Sapa.
