WHAT: The ViiV Healthcare Effect (http://www.ViiVHealthcareEffect.com) introduces our company's approach to partnerships in a unique and personal way. Today ViiV Healthcare continues to support communities around the world through an enriched Positive Action portfolio: its heritage global grants programme for vulnerable groups; the new Positive Action for Children Fund to tackle mother-to-child transmission; and Community Grants from our local operating companies. This website brings these projects that we have on the ground to life.

The ViiV Healthcare Effect offers a fresh way of learning about our work and its impact. The site also showcases best practices throughout the world. Visit the site to hear

[ http://viivhealthcareeffect.com/tour-our-programmes/staying-alive.aspx ] perspective.

WHY: We've seen how the programmes we support directly impact communities

We feel that if can we share our expertise, and get more people to talking about our valuable learnings, the more connections we can make and perhaps most importantly, the broader our impact can be.
