Gilead Brings HIV Prevention to the 27th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards®

FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GILD) today announced a new collaboration with TelevisaUnivision and the 27th Latin GRAMMY Awards that will bring HIV prevention awareness into one of the most prominent cultural moments for Latino audiences.

The collaboration comes at a crucial time for Latino communities in the United States. In 2024, Hispanic/Latino people were 67% more likely than the U.S. population overall to be diagnosed with HIV, with a diagnosis rate of 18.9 per 100,000 compared with 11.3 per 100,000 overall.

Against this backdrop, Gilead’s Ahorita Mismo! (“Right Now!”) campaign—part of Gilead’s Care for the Culture HIV Prevention platform—is designed to help turn awareness into conversation and action by making information about HIV testing and prevention more visible, accessible and culturally relevant. Through this collaboration, the campaign will come to life across the Latin GRAMMY Awards experience, TelevisaUnivision programming and social content, and local community events.

Key Highlights

• Gilead will integrate HIV prevention throughout the 27th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards® experience with red-carpet presence and celebrity interviews.
• The collaboration includes a segment on Univision’s Despierta America®, the number 1 morning show for U.S. Hispanics, and a social-first docuseries featuring emerging Mexican artist/singer Santi Casas.
• Community events in Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas and Houston will bring the experience directly to local communities, connecting people with HIV prevention education and resources.

Together, these activations aim to increase the visibility and relevance of HIV prevention and normalize it within Latino communities.

“Music and culture have a unique power to connect us, spark conversation and make important health information feel more personal and relevant,” said Ashley Gildea, Vice President, U.S. HIV Prevention, Gilead Sciences. “Through Ahorita Mismo and the Latin GRAMMY Awards, we can harness that connection to bring HIV prevention into everyday conversations and move closer to our broader ambition: a future where HIV prevention is a routine part of healthcare and everyone feels empowered to make prevention part of caring for their health.”

The 27th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards will take place Thursday, November 12, 2026, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada and will air live at 8 p.m. ET/PT (7 p.m. Central) on Univision, UNIMÁS, Galavisión and streaming on ViX.
