Terrence Higgins Trust is the leading and largest HIV and sexual health charity in the UK.

Building the future

Here are our plans to tackle poor sexual health over the next few years.

The story so far

Since we established our current strategy in 2004, we believe we have made a strong contribution to HIV and sexual health in the UK. In particular:

  • We have expanded our HIV services and by the end of the year we’ll be supporting over 50,000 people.
  • We have increased our HIV services for African people.
  • We have improved our website which now helps five times the number of visitors from all over the world than it did in 2004.
  • We have opened local sexual health services for people at greatest risk of sexual ill health, especially young people, gay men and sex workers.  These services were used by more than 20,000 people this year.
  • We have strengthened our local and national service provision in England and Wales, and for the first time, Scotland.
  • We have had real success in both defending the rights of people with HIV and in increasing people’s access to publicly funded HIV and sexual health services.
  • We have worked with the media to raise awareness and increase public and political support for HIV and sexual health.
  • We have continued to develop our fundraising work providing much needed resources to support our services and campaigning work.

Despite this work, much remains to be done in the years ahead.
