“We are hugely proud of our role in partnering with Gareth and THT on the Tackle HIV campaign. Scientific advancements have transformed the treatment and prevention of HIV, yet stigma persists and not only does it have a huge impact on people living with HIV, it threatens to undermine the progress made. Tackle HIV is an important ongoing partnership that illustrates our commitment to the HIV community and fighting stigma, and this garden is an inspirational visual representation of our work together and the progress made in the HIV response.” – Audrey Abernathy, Vice President, ViiV Healthcare.
