Lisa Power, Head of Policy at Terrence Higgins Trust said “We’re delighted that Gordon Brown is making a commitment to increase HIV testing.  Thousands of people in the UK don’t know they have the virus and many find out very late – sometimes years after infection. We have to get more people taking a test, it’s quicker and easier than ever and it saves lives.”

The video message also appears on the World AIDS Day website at www.worldAIDSday.org
