Gilead COMPASS Initiative®: Tackling the HIV/AIDS Epidemic in Southern USA

1. Gilead COMPASS Initiative®: Tackling the HIV/AIDS Epidemic in Southern USA Due to the slow process of the research and development of the right medicines and treatments, several diseases are still prevailing in our society. One of these diseases that has made a huge impact and has affected families is HIV/AIDS, that has been declared as an epidemic by the World Health Organization. The disease has a huge social impact on the affected families making their life difficult. In times like these, large-scale biopharmaceutical conglomerates must come together to start an initiative that works towards providing funding to non-profits to spread awareness and treatments to such families. Following the same vision is the Gilead COMPASS Initiative® started by Gilead Sciences Inc. to combat the existing Gilead HIV stigma for several African-American families in the Southern USA. Gilead COMPASS Initiative® is actively working in the Southern USA in collaboration with several non-profit charitable organizations that work towards fighting the social effects of the diseases on the affected families. With the help of this initiative, the organizations can provide evidence-based solutions to meet the needs of the people and families impacted by such a deadly disease. Gilead HIV treatment are already targeted to transform and simplify the lives of people struck by the disease but with the help Gilead COMPASS Initiative®, the biopharmaceutical company is making a 10-year, $100 million commitment to the society for providing the right knowledge and resources. Through such a corporate funding program, three COMPASS coordinating centers have been set at the Southern AIDS Coalition, University of

2. Houston Graduate College of Social Work, and Emory University Rollins School of Public Health. These coordinating centers are responsible for implementing HIV-related programs focusing on three primary areas: Reducing the stigma affecting the families Building the capacity and efficient knowledge sharing Trauma-informed care, well-being, substance use, and mental health Through these COMPASS coordinating centers, local non-profits and organizations can avail funding from four programs namely, SPARK!
