HIV is one of the world’s greatest health challenges. Nearly 38 million people around the world live with HIV, and 1.5 million newly acquire HIV each year. Johnson & Johnson has been working for 25 years to fight the disease.
Over this time, we’ve developed nine HIV medicines. These drugs allow people to live with HIV as a chronic condition rather than the death sentence it once was. We’re also currently working on a vaccine to prevent HIV, which is now being evaluated in a large-scale efficacy clinical trial.
None of this would be possible without the numerous partners we’ve worked with for the past quarter century: doctors, nurses, patients, advocacy groups, health authorities, NGOs and industry leaders. No one can do it alone. That’s why we also sponsor more than 100 HIV programs in 50 countries. They help educate, support and care for the men, women and children living with HIV who otherwise would be alone.
We won’t stop until we make HIV history.

Developing a preventive vaccine for HIV is our top priority and we need armies of people to help make it happen. People in the sciences, people in clinical centers to execute these trials and volunteers—especially volunteers. I’m so impressed with the people who are helping move human health forward.
