Their ethos
HIV presents a serious global challenge. At ViiV Healthcare, we are using our commitment, expertise and passion to help meet this challenge. Their entrepreneurial attitude encourages us to be nimble and agile, so they can respond rapidly to changing healthcare and social needs for people living with HIV.
Their strategy
Their aim is to re-energise the pharmaceutical industry’s participation in HIV by getting closer to and understanding better the needs of those who live with the virus and those who treat them.
They have three strategic priorities:
Innovation in research and development (R&D) - ViiV Healthcare is structured to provide a more consistent flow of new medicines. They do this by tapping into the R&D expertise of not 1 but 2 drug discovery pipelines and actively seeking new business alliances.
Delivering a business today, that is built for the long term - Their operating model allows us to make business decisions fast. They also have a broad portfolio of available medicines. This makes us a robust company and enables us to take a long-term view
Access and care - Their royalty-free voluntary licence scheme and not-for-profit pricing underpin our commitment to supporting global access for people needing antiretroviral drugs. In addition, they actively support community initiatives in HIV, including the Positive Action programme, by partnering with like-minded organisations that share their ethos.
