Established in 2009 as a joint venture between GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Pfizer, with Shionogi joining in 2012, ViiV Healthcare combines the expertise and resources of its parent companies to focus solely on combating HIV. ViiV Healthcare's mission is to ensure that no person living with HIV is left behind.
