The organisation

Terrence Higgins Trust was set up in 1982 following the death of its namesake, Terry Higgins, who was one of the very first people to die of an AIDS-related illness in the UK.

As an organisation we are always aiming to ensure we are always meeting the needs of people affected by HIV and poor sexual health.

Sexual and Reproductive Health Directorate.

Terrence Higgins Trust Sexual and Reproductive Health Directorate designs and delivers high quality services throughout England, Scotland and Wales aimed at preventing sexual and reproductive ill health and supporting the needs of people living with HIV.

We achieve this by working in partnership with Public Health Commissioners, Local Authorities, NHS Trusts, Health Boards and wider health and social care networks including service users.

Our approach to these commitments includes maintaining relationships with strategic partners and creating new ones to increase our service offer and we continually improve outcomes in accordance with national standards and local needs and requirements.

A courageous organisation

We were formed in 1982 following the death of Terry Higgins, one of the very first to die from an AIDS-related illness in the UK.

Since then, we've acted boldly and passionately to meet the challenges of this ever-changing epidemic.

Now as the UK's leading HIV and sexual health charity, we are looking to take new, innovative steps to drive forward our ambition.

An ambitious organisation

We are working to end HIV transmission in the UK by 2030, help people to live with HIV and improve the nation's sexual health.

It's a critical moment - for the first time our goals are within reach. We are working together with our beneficiaries and partners to make the end of HIV transmission a reality.
