But it’s an even bigger one for us at Terrence Higgins Trust with the clock ticking down at pace on the life-changing goal of ending new HIV cases in the UK by 2030. Which means we need proper focus, ambition and leadership to make the UK the first country in the world to achieve the feat. That’s why two of our big focuses for the next 12 months are:Easier access to HIV prevention drug PrEP;Engaging those living with HIV but not taking treatment. Alongside PrEP, another crucial piece of the jigsaw for ending new HIV cases, is the brilliant, incredible, can’t-be-said-too-often fact that people living with HIV and on effective treatment cannot pass HIV onto their partners. Which means those who are diagnosed and taking their daily medication are playing a huge role in HIV prevention.
