Terrence Higgins Trust urges future Government to make four key changes on HIV policy
Terrence Higgins Trust sent out a briefing HIV in the UK - What you need to know to all parliamentary candidates. As well as the call to action, it provides future MPs with all the facts and figures they need to know about HIV in the UK. Our four key aims are listed on THT's General Election web page  15 Apr 15

THT's members four key measures:

1. Introduce, in the first session of a new UK Parliament, compulsory Sex and Relationships Education for all schools, which is inclusive of young people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, and which has appropriate sexual health and HIV content.

2. Make HIV prevention a national public health priority, with effective funding, more varied testing options and access to the full range of prevention information and choices for all who need them.

3. End HIV stigma in health and social care settings through the training of all NHS and care staff.

4. Commit to the Disability Benefits Consortium's Five Things You And Your Party Can Do For Disabled People, to help ensure that people affected by HIV-related sickness or disability have the support they need.
