UNAIDS estimates that more than 33 million people were living with HIV/AIDS around the world at the end of 2007. Given the tremendous need for action, everyone has a role to play in the global battle against this disease.

For more than 20 years, Abbott has made a significant contribution to the fight against HIV/AIDS through the development of innovative tests and medicines. Building on this history, Abbott and the Abbott Fund have invested more than $100 million to advance HIV testing, treatment and support services in developing countries through Abbott Global AIDS Care programs. Working together with local and international partners, Abbott is improving the lives of people affected by HIV/AIDS through programs targeting critical areas of need in developing countries. This is an extension of Abbott's commitment to global citizenship, which informs how our company advances our business objectives, engages our stakeholders, implements our policies, applies our social investment and philanthropy, and exercises our influence to make a productive contribution to society.

Abbott Global AIDS Care programs focus on four key areas: strengthening health care systems, helping children affected by HIV/AIDS, preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV, and expanding access to testing and treatment. Together with our implementing partner organizations, Abbott and Abbott Fund are pioneering innovative model programs, and sharing progress and lessons learned to encourage the adaptation of successful programs.
