TERRENCE HIGGINS TRUST

That this House joins the Terrence Higgins Trust is marking the 20th anniversary of the death of Terry Higgins, the first person known to have died with AIDS in the United Kingdom; congratulates THT on having been at the forefront of this country's fight against HIV for the last 20 years; further notes that the HIV epidemic continues unabated in the United Kingdom with more new diagnoses in 2001 than any previous year and that the number of people testing positive for other sexually transmitted infections is higher now than at any point since the inception of the NHS; and calls on the Government to restore sexual health and HIV as a priority for the NHS.
