  BBC NEWS | Talking Point | Fighting Aids: Ask the campaigners
Terence Higgins was the first known case in the UK as someone dying of Aids and since then the Terrence Higgins Trust has been working closely with populations largely at risk of HIV in the UK and also working abroad in bringing attention and raising awareness of HIV/Aids.
The Trust, for example, has been working very closely with all sections of society to ensure that the HIV message is out there and preventative messages are out there.
The Trust actually has been working with now what has become the highest at risk group - the African communities here in the UK and the message to 16 to 24 year-olds is going out there.

Charging for treatment (effectively making it inaccessible to most people) is unlikely to encourage people refused asylum to return to countries they have been determined to leave, many of which have even less health infrastructure and support than they would receive on emergency grounds in the UK.
THT has long campaigned against these restrictions, but we think it is important to revive this campaign now.

The trust is concerned that no national guidelines exist for the treatment of HIV-positive and Aids patients in jail, and that strict prison regimes often prevent effective treatment.

I think Nick provided a very eloquent list and a compelling testimony of the sorts of things that are required in respect of sex education and the targeting of educational efforts with a view to preventing HIV towards at risk communities.
On the issue of section 28, to my mind a false impression is given of the real issues in the media, particularly the Terence Higgins Trust and the National AIDS Trust.
The long, ongoing story line with Mark Fowler in Eastenders is something the Terrence Higgins Trust have been consulted on and sadly that is going to come to an end soon but that has had an educative impact reaching an audience that we at the Terrence Higgins Trust would otherwise find very difficult to do.

When Nick Partridge of Terence Higgins Trust was before us, he was talking about the monitoring of performance and the Service and Financial Frameworks and he made the point that sexual health is not on the list of "must-dos" in the SAFs.
That is what is going to happen locally and there is a huge tension between the ever-increasing budgets and the provision of sexual health services, because in the main they are very directly related, as you say.
We also had evidence again from Nick Partridge at the Terrence Higgins Trust about the impact of the disaggregation of county councils, when individual district councils opted out of funding fairly crucial voluntary sector groups.
