Champions of Science
Today, 30 years later, thanks to the work of the global community, we have transformed HIV into a manageable condition that’s treatable with one pill, once a day. Living a long, healthy life with HIV was once a dream but now is a reality for millions.
Stopping HIV requires constant innovation and global collaboration. Some of the world’s best scientists and most engaged health advocates are involved in advancing HIV prevention. Janssen is united with them to find a preventive vaccine and help bring a stop to HIV.
Vaccination is widely recognized as the world’s most successful and cost-effective health intervention. Today there are more than 30 infectious diseases that are vaccine-preventable. Our dream is that HIV will be one of the next, and we will work tirelessly to achieve it.
At Johnson & Johnson we are determined to combine heart, science and ingenuity to do more for people living with HIV. For the past 10 years we have been working to develop an HIV vaccine that could put an end to the pandemic for good. You have my promise that all of us at Johnson & Johnson will not rest until we defeat HIV. Together, we will make HIV history.
While controlling HIV is paramount, today the development of anti-HIV drugs also focuses on improving the lives of patients. Single-tablet regimens simplify dosing regimens and have the potential to support patient adherence and, ultimately, the effectiveness of treatment.
Janssen’s continuing commitment to advance the therapeutic options for people with HIV will benefit patients around the world, but we’re not losing sight of our ultimate goal—to find a cure. We don’t want people with HIV to have to take lifelong therapy, and we continue to explore approaches that have the potential to provide long-term remission from the infection, or full viral eradication.
We partner with many organizations across the globe to provide effective prevention and care programs for people living with HIV and at-risk populations. Working together, we are proud to expand access to vital HIV services in affected communities.
