FYI

HIV Age Positively Grants Program 2018 

For over 30 years, Gilead has worked to improve treatments for people living with HIV, helping transform HIV infection from a fatal and debilitating disease into a chronic, manageable condition. Though successful prevention and treatment options are critical interventions in the effort to end the HIV epidemic, identifying novel agents and strategies that could play a role in eradicating HIV infection in the body remains an important aspect of Gilead’s commitment to ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

As part of our ongoing commitment to ending the HIV epidemic, Gilead has long supported community-led programs for PLWH and we seek to further understand the evolving needs of PLWH as they age. As a continuation of that work, today we would like to make you aware of the funding opportunity announcement through our new Gilead HIV Age Positively™ Community Impact Program.*  Please review the attached document to learn more.
