Our History
of transforming
diseases.
Illuminated.
For over 30 years, Gilead employees around the globe have been hard at work developing transformative therapies for life-threatening diseases, while helping millions of patients live healthier lives.
Liver diseases
More than 300 million people worldwide are living with chronic hepatitis B or C infection, making viral hepatitis many times more common than HIV.1 Gilead has:
- Provided medicines that can cure chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection2
- Helped manage chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection2

Partnering to Eliminate Viral Hepatitis
Beyond therapeutic advancement, Gilead has:
- Expanded hepatitis screening for at-risk individuals and increased access to our medicines around the world1

HIV
Through our antiretroviral therapies, we’ve helped transform HIV infection into a chronic, manageable condition for many.1
Since the early days of the HIV epidemic, antiretroviral therapy has evolved from complex regimens involving a large number of daily pills to simplified combination regimens.2,3 Gilead’s innovations include multiple once-daily, complete single-tablet regimens for people living with HIV.
We’re at the forefront of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), an approach that involves the use of antiretroviral medication, including once-daily single-tablet regimens, to reduce the chances of sexually acquiring HIV-1 infection in individuals who are HIV-negative and at risk.

This innovative approach re-engineers a patient’s white blood cells to transform their immune system into their own cancer-fighting therapy.
