Today would’ve been Terry Higgins’ 81st birthday. But, instead, he’ll always be 37. Terry was the first named person in the UK to die of an AIDS-related illness in July 1982. Say Happy Birthday Terry and, if you can, donate today tht.org.uk/terry

Congratulations to Alison Thewliss MSP on her appointment as Minister for Community Care. Having previously championed the rights of people living with HIV as Vice Chair of the APPG on HIV and AIDS, we know she shares our 2030 goal. We look forward to working with her on urgent actions, including securing equitable access to peer and mental health support, and re-engaging those who are currently lost to care.

Congratulations @JohnSwinney on your re-election as First Minister of Scotland. The SNP manifesto pledged bold action to increase HIV testing, widen access to PrEP and support people living with HIV to engage in life saving care. We're looking forward to working with you to deliver on these commitments and end new cases of HIV in Scotland by 2030.

Scotland could be the first country in the world to end new cases of HIV.  Write to your candidates ahead of the Scottish Parliament election and let them know that this must be a priority. tht.eaction.org.uk/HIVSector…

We were at Scottish Labour Conference with @WaverleyCare talking to MSPs, MPs and candidates about the action that is needed to end new transmissions of HIV in Scotland by 2030. Thank you to @AnasSarwar and everyone who dropped by to discuss how we can achieve this goal.

It's with deep sadness that we announce that Martyn Butler has died. Martyn founded our charity with Rupert Whitaker, in honour of his friend Terry Higgins. For 50 years he supported people living with HIV & championed LGBT rights. Brave & deeply kind, he will be sorely missed.
