World AIDS Day happens annually on 1 December. This year the World Health Organisation is asking us to come together under the theme of “Equalize”.
In the UK it is 40 years since the first case of HIV/AIDS in the UK and the death of Terry Higgins. The Terrence Higgins Trust is one of the main UK charities providing support and guidance around HIV. It clearly explains everything you might want to know from being tested, to being diagnosed, to living with HIV and telling other people. Their website is an invaluable source of information and resources. It will also tell you where you can get a test and you can also order one on line from them. The Terrence Higgins Trust Website also gives guidance and information about living with HIV and COVID.
AIDS/HIV has been a huge taboo. People living with this have been discriminated against, experience unacceptable prejudice and intimidation.
