From small beginnings in a flat in central London, we have grown to become the UK's leading HIV and sexual health charity, and one of the largest in Europe.

Panels from the AIDS memorial quilt featuring Terry Higgins' portraits. Text reads: Terry Higgins was the first named person to die from an AIDS-related illness in the UK. Learn more this LGBT+ History Month at tht.org.uk/history

White text on a powder blue background reads: After five years of service, Terry felt it was time to leave. Wanting a quick exit, he informed a senior officer he was gay, which was a sacking offence at the time.

But after being refused discharge, Terry painted hammer and sickle motifs on the ship and was formally asked to leave.

A panel from the Terry Higgins memorial quilt is displayed. It depicts a rainbow with a curve of leather in front of it. There is an angel with wings flying into the top left hand corner. It quotes Terry's words when he confronted the police: 'How dare you bitches attack my friends.'

Text reads: Terry was an activist. During the London Pride March in 1980, Terry saw the police attack a drag queen. He jumped down from his parade float and confronted them with a leather belt in hand.

There is a period of time between: • when someone picks up an infection through sex • and when our tests can accurately detect it This is called a 'window period'. Different STIs can have different window periods.

PrEP is highly effective against HIV, but it doesn't replace testing. PrEP doesn't prevent other STIs so it works best when used along with condoms and regular testing. It's also good to have regular confirmation that you don't have HIV and that the PrEP is working as expected.

Purple background with text: "Taking PrEP? Don't forget to test for HIV and STIs regularly." Blue section below says, "Some STIs have no symptoms. The only way to be sure is to test."

Terrence Higgins Trust Brighton & Hove @thtbrighton.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

If you're thinking about new healthy habits to form this year, don't forget to consider your sexual health. Routine testing is important for maintaining good sexual health as many STIs have no symptoms.

The mpox vaccine is free for anyone who is eligible. You can get vaccinated at Brighton & Hove SHAC, or here at the Terrence Higgins Trust Brighton clinic on Monday and Thursday afternoons. To book your vaccinations with us, just call 01273 764200 or email brighton.clinic@tht.org.uk

Large white text on a teal background reads: What’s new
with m pox? M pox vaccines available at our clinic. Book your appointment today.

A few new cases of clade 1b m pox have been reported in parts of Europe and the USA, with no links to countries where this type of m pox is already present. This suggests that clade 1b m pox is spreading through community transmission, which means it is being passed on through casual contact.

Most of the new cases identified in Europe and the USA have been in gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. The risk to the UK population remains low and m pox infections are usually mild, but m pox vaccinations are still encouraged.

Groups eligible for the routine m pox vaccination programme include: Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. People with multiple sexual partners. People who have group sex. And people who visit sex-on-premises venues.

People who inject drugs are most at risk for hepatitis C. Most pharmacies take part in needle and syringe programmes, where you can get new, clean injecting equipment and advice for staying safe. You can also return any used equipment so that it can be safely disposed of.
