'Stand Up and Stand Out by wearing your red ribbon with pride this
World AIDS Day'

As World AIDS Day approaches, the latest issue of Trust Living explains how we are working together to help fight HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.

We are asking you to Stand Up, Stand Out with us on 1 December to raise greater awareness and vital funds for HIV prevention services.

Our chief executive Sir Nick Partridge explains how, despite significant advances, HIV remains an incurable and life-threatening condition. Every day 18 people are diagnosed HIV positive in the UK.

‘Terrence Higgins Trust has been at the very heart of the epidemic for nearly 30 years but we can’t do this alone,’ he says. ‘Please continue to stand with us.’

There’s no better time to do this than now. On World AIDS Day we aim to reach out to more people than ever, with information, advice and support to help everybody improve their sexual health.

Can you donate £25 to help our vital services like THT Direct, our Fastest clinics and our Advice and Advocacy Team? You can make a real difference to someone’s life just by giving a gift today.

We promise that we will use your donations wisely and work hard to get the most value out of every pound.

You can also join us by Standing Up and Standing Out in bright red underwear for the day and making a donation, by selling red ribbons or asking your MP to support HIV prevention.

For numerous other ways to Stand Up, Stand Out with us on 1 December, see www.tht.org.uk/worldaidsday.

Terrence Higgins Trust has transformed the way many HIV and sexual health services are delivered in the UK, and more than 100,000 people have used our services over the past year. Despite the harsh economic environment our work continues because funders believe we are the best people to deliver these services.

Our beneficiaries are at the heart of everything we do, and we take their satisfaction with our services very seriously. We found that 90% of the people we recently asked rated their experience of Terrence Higgins Trust as ‘good’ or ‘very good’ and would recommend us to a friend.

I hope that you can make a World AIDS Day donation to Terrence Higgins Trust today. Whatever you can afford to give, it will be greatly appreciated.
