On Monday, Gov. Ned Lamont (D) and the state's health commissioner, Dr. Manisha Juthani, MD, presented the workers there with a proclamation for being a leader in cutting edge research and development in HIV and AIDS.
'It's just worth reminding people every day that we're making a difference and it's working and we're saving lives,' Gov. Lamont said.
ViiV is part of an initiative, founded in 2022, that has set a goal to end HIV in the U.S. by 2030. More than 30 scientists work in the Branford facility.
