Story

I'm taking on the Big Shave Off to celebrate 40 years of action against HIV! Terrence Higgins Trust are proud to have been supporting people living with HIV since 1982 - it's always been the heart of what they do. Today we need your support to end new cases of HIV in the UK, and to fight stigma and support those living with HIV. Just £100 could fund 9 HIV self-tests so people can know their status sooner and get the medication and support they need to live healthy lives, 2 months training for 5 THT Direct volunteers to keep our support lines open, , or 84 hours of online counselling to support people affected by HIV.

Over 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with HIV. I thought it was the end my life as I knew it, but 5 years on it isn't. There's still stigma today on people living with HIV, like it's still a death sentence. I live my life normally as anyone else. 

In the advancement in science and medicine, over the last 40 years, I take one tablet a day. We can end HIV transmissions, provide vital support to so many, help me reach my goal and donate today.
