HIV/AIDS in Africa
SECURE THE FUTURE®, Bristol-Myers Squibb’s flagship philanthropic program that provides care and support for communities affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa, has funded more than $150 million in programs in 21 African countries over 11 years, with special emphasis on community treatment support programs, care for children and building infrastructure.

Priority areas include:
- Continue expanding SECURE THE FUTURE® Technical Assistance and Skills Transfer into Africa
