Today NICE has recommended AGAINST making lenacapavir – a twice-yearly injectable form of PrEP – available for HIV prevention. This is profoundly disappointing. Add your name to show that access to twice-yearly injectable PrEP must not be kicked into the long grass: www.tht.org.uk/prep-petition

"Well, in 1994, I was dying," says Leo in #TipToe. Living well with HIV 32 years later. Medical progress in the fight against HIV has transformed a diagnosis from a terminal one to a longterm, manageable condition.

Brilliant to see a normalised portrayal of living with HIV today in episode one of #TipToe – and the huge medical progress made since It's a Sin. One pill a day protects Leo's immune system from harm and means he #CantPassItOn to partners.

Today is the funeral of the Revd Dr Malcolm Johnson (1936-2026). When HIV began devastating gay communities in Britain in the early 1980s, the response from many religious institutions was silence or worse. Malcolm took a different path 👇
tht.org.uk
The Revd Dr Malcolm Johnson (1936–2026): A friend to people with HIV from the very beginning | Terrence Higgins Trust
The Church of England nicknamed him the Pink Bishop. Malcolm Johnson wore the label without apology. One of the first clergy in the Church of England to come out as gay, in 1969, he spent the following half-century quietly dismantling the idea that faith and compassion for LGBT+ people were incompatible. Terrence Higgins Trust was privileged to count him as a friend and ally from our earliest days.
