Tibotec Therapeutics - Support for HIV communities

Our Company

Community

While our business focuses on the sales and marketing of virology therapeutics, our identity as an organization encompasses more than simply what we market – it extends to what we do and how we conduct our business in the communities that we serve.

As part of a global health care organization, we touch many people through our products, employment, community outreach and partnerships, all of which allow us to expand our ability to help communities and improve public health, especially in the area of HIV. Our key programs focus on Volunteer Efforts and Patient Advocacy.

Supporting Our Communities

Our commitment to the community extends beyond our office walls – we enjoy rolling up our sleeves and working with grassroots organizations. We participate in a number of community, patient advocacy and diversity outreach programs:

We also support patient education programs and materials developed by advocacy and AIDS service organizations.
