Gilead COMPASS Initiative®: Tackling Southern USA’s HIV/AIDS Epidemic

1. Gilead COMPASS Initiative®: Tackling Southern USA’s HIV/AIDS Epidemic In the present world, numerous diseases have been declared as an epidemic by the World Health Organization and need the utmost attention of mankind. One of those diseases that has wreaked havoc across the globe is HIV/AIDS which has been affecting many families causing physical and mental harm. The disease is of a major concern in Southern USA where several African Americans HIV families are struggling to maintain a normal life.
