With Gift Aid, your generous donation of £10 would be worth £12.50 at no extra cost to you.

I am a UK taxpayer and I understand that if I pay less Income and /or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in the relevant tax year, it is my responsibility to pay any difference.

In our 35th year we’re asking people to donate £35 – that’s just £1 for every year we’ve been providing life-changing information. Any donation you make helps us continue our work towards a world where HIV is no longer a threat to health or happiness.

  • £5 allows us to reach millions of people globally with accurate and reliable resources about HIV prevention and treatment.
  • £10 helps us produce news and bulletins on the latest developments in HIV for healthcare staff around the world.
  • £35 means we can empower more people living with HIV to challenge stigma with our information workshops, videos and broadcasts.

Easy-to-read and illustrated information on life expectancy for people living with HIV.

If you are diagnosed in good time, have access to care and treatment, and are taking your medicines, you can expect to live as long as someone who does not have HIV.

The sooner you are on effective treatment, the better chance you have of good health and of living longer.
