Groups and services

Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with HIV for decades, we have a range of services available to you. 

All of our support is confidential and you can access our services in a way that suits you. All our services are trans and non-binary inclusive. 

Our online meetings use Zoom, video conferencing software that you can use by phone, tablet or computer to access online meetings for free.

My Community is a free, online space for people living with HIV in the UK to connect. You can share stories, worries and concerns as well as celebrate successes. The online space allows you to maintain control over your privacy and participation, and you can decide on how or when to engage. 

The platform is moderated by a team of trained volunteers based throughout the UK and supported by staff at Terrence Higgins Trust. 

Find out more about My Community.

Our team can provide support on an individual basis via Zoom, phone, text or in-person.

Check-ins are available weekly, fortnightly or monthly. 

We host a variety of groups and workshops to support people living with HIV and provide peer support. These are safe and confidential spaces where we can discuss topical issues, life experiences and share mutual support.  

Support from your peers can be especially valuable for people who have recently received an HIV diagnosis as it can help to talk to someone who has experienced what you are going through.

We also invite a range of speakers and organisations to promote discussion around issues relevant to the groups. We aim to build a supportive community network. All groups are trans and non-binary inclusive.

View all our groups on our calendar.
