Terrence Higgins Trust is the UK's leading HIV and sexual health charity. Their work includes:

• working to end new transmissions of HIV in the UK by 2030
• supporting people to live well with HIV
• challenging the stigma associated with HIV and with poor sexual health
• delivering high quality services.

They do this by supporting people living with HIV and ensure their voices are heard, providing testing services for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, and helping the people using our services to achieve good sexual health.

Terry Higgins was one of the first people in the UK to die of an AIDS-related illness. He died aged 37, on 4 July 1982 at St Thomas' Hospital, London. By naming the trust after Terry, the founder members – his partner and friends – hoped to personalise and humanise AIDS in a very public way.
