Together We Can Stop HIV Paul Ward, Acting Chief Executive, Terrence Higgins Trust Treatment can stop HIV being passed on. But thousands have HIV and don’t know it. Order your free postal HIV test or find where to test: StartsWithMe.org.uk startswithme @startswith_me Tonight, we want to share some good news with you. In Britain the vast majority of people who are diagnosed with HIV get on to effective treatment. This is testimony to Terrence Higgins Trust’s health promotion work, our healthcare system and free access to treatment for everyone diagnosed with HIV. Medication suppresses the amount of the HIV in the body to such a low level that it is extremely unlikely that HIV will be passed on. For most people on successful treatment this means that, to all intents and purposes, they are no longer infectious. However, we also have a major challenge which is affecting the lives of thousands. It is estimated that around 25,000 people in Britain are living with HIV but don’t know it. Over the last few years Terrence Higgins Trust has single-mindedly focused on getting as many people as possible, from the communities most affected by HIV in the UK, to regularly test for HIV. The majority of people who get HIV in the UK get it from someone who does not know that they have the virus. Because they do not know their HIV status, they have not been given the opportunity to start treatment - and in many cases may be highly infectious. Through initiatives such as National HIV Testing Week we have worked more closely than ever before with our partners in the NHS, local government and the community to increase the number of tests and find those living with HIV who are as yet undiagnosed. Our community testing services already run weekly clinics in places where we can find people from the communities most at risk of HIV. We go to saunas, gay clubs, African churches, barber shops and even run football tournaments to reach African men. We have developed the first national postal HIV testing service and in 2013 sent out over 10,000 test kits. We know that the more people who test for HIV and get on to treatment, the fewer people will be infectious. Reaching out to the undiagnosed population is a big task. We have to work together with community testing services and sexual health clinics. We have to overcome stigma and encourage people to test regularly. We have to develop new, more convenient and cheaper ways of testing for HIV and be there to support people when they are diagnosed. The bottom line is that the more people with HIV who get on treatment, the fewer people will be infectious - and fewer people will be infected. But changing attitudes to HIV testing and persuading people to test - so that those who need to start treatment can - is a huge task. We cannot do it on our own, that is why we need you to join us and support our efforts to stop the spread of HIV. 50
