Our Women at Gilead team are excited to participate in Women's Health Week this week. Every day we are sharing daily videos with our broader team discussing how we can empower women to take control of their health and raise awareness about key health issues. We started the week with insights from Karl Johnson, our Senior Medical Manager in HIV, who spoke about the unique challenges women with HIV face and the empowering impact of U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable) in reducing stigma and unlocking new possibilities. Join us in taking some time out to celebrate and support women's health this week! #WomensHealthWeek2024 #UequalsU #HealthAwareness Jennifer Wilson, Diana Nazemian Pour, Genie Yeatman, Gina Saad, Sarah Loomes
