🙌Great stuff on BBC EastEnders last night.

It's so important for everyone to know that people living with HIV on treatment can't pass the virus on.

Having a major TV show share this message, and make clear it isn't a big deal is really powerful.

As we end LGBT+ History Month, we're remembering our namesake, Terry Higgins.

In June 1982, Terry collapsed on the Heaven Nightclub dancefloor and was later hospitalised. Less than a month later, on 4 July 1982, Terry became the first named person to die from an AIDS-related illness. He was just 37.

Terry’s death led his then-partner Rupert Whitaker OBE, friend Martyn Butler OBE, and other friends, to set up our charity. They took the heart from the logo of Heaven Nightclub, where Martyn and Terry had become friends, as the symbol of Terrence Higgins Trust.

We have been working in his name and using that symbol ever since.
