Do you know how much of an impact opt-out HIV testing in A&Es is having? Here's our Chief Executive Richard Angell with the jaw-dropping truth.

We’re proud to announce Lord Guy Black of Brentwood as our new Chair of Terrence Higgins Trust. Lord Black has written for The Telegraph to mark the moment: Final push to end the HIV epidemic starts now.

Today marks 44 years since Terry Higgins became the first named person in the UK to die of an AIDS-related illness on 4 July, 1982. Starting a chain of events that led to the founding of our charity in his name and our place at the forefront of the fight against HIV ever since.

Why Terrence Higgins Trust’s work is as vital now as ever – we love this headline, because it’s true. Read about our life-changing work from Terry Higgins’ death through to today.

In #TipToe, Leo's been living with HIV for 30 years. In the series finale HIV-related abuse raises its ugly head. We want everyone to know the facts about HIV. But we can't shy away from the reality of stigma and discrimination many people living with HIV still face.

Watching #TipToe? Spit & Polish isn't just Leo's bar. It's where people feel safe, celebrated and free. Order your T-shirt and join the movement to end HIV stigma. What a legacy for Tip Toe that would be: www.tht.org.uk/tshirt.

Will you fulfil one of Terry Higgins' last requests? 🍰 Terry was one of the first to die of an AIDS-related illness in July 1982. While in hospital he requested a cherry & coconut cake. Then he died. The cake never got baked. Until now: www.tht.org.uk/terry-cake

"Well, in 1994, I was dying," says Leo in #TipToe. Living well with HIV 32 years later. Medical progress in the fight against HIV has transformed a diagnosis from a terminal one to a longterm, manageable condition.

Brilliant to see a normalised portrayal of living with HIV today in episode one of #TipToe – and the huge medical progress made since It's a Sin. One pill a day protects Leo's immune system from harm and means he #CantPassItOn to partners.

Today is the funeral of the Revd Dr Malcolm Johnson (1936-2026). When HIV began devastating gay communities in Britain in the early 1980s, the response from many religious institutions was silence or worse. Malcolm took a different path 👇

The Revd Dr Malcolm Johnson (1936–2026): A friend to people with HIV from the very beginning | Terrence Higgins Trust

The Church of England nicknamed him the Pink Bishop. Malcolm Johnson wore the label without apology. One of the first clergy in the Church of England to come out as gay, in 1969, he spent the following half-century quietly dismantling the idea that faith and compassion for LGBT+ people were incompatible. Terrence Higgins Trust was privileged to count him as a friend and ally from our earliest days.
