The Terrance Higgins Trust

At the time of Allan’s diagnosis – as a heterosexual man in his 30s – he said he had ‘next to no education’ about HIV, ‘So when I was diagnosed, I just thought, “I am going to die.”‘

‘HIV is no longer a death sentence, it’s a treatable condition. There are far worse things you could get.’

Allan, who is part of Terrence Higgins Trust’s Positive Voices project which speaks to schools, workplaces and other audiences about HIV, said he’s come a long way since his diagnosis.

‘I’ve taken something that I was so scared of – that scared me to death – and I’ve turned it into a way I can help people with support of my wife Marie
