Wear the T-shirt this summer. Challenge the stigma.
Wear this Tip Toe T-shirt and show your support for people living with HIV, like Leo in the series (played by Alan Cumming). Because, while there's been huge medical progress, HIV stigma hasn’t disappeared. Too many people are still met with judgement, silence, and isolation.
Profits from every T-shirt sold are shared equally, with 50% going to Terrence Higgins Trust and 50% going to George House Trust to support their vital work.

Quote textIt’s an honour to portray Alan Cumming’s character, Leo Struthers, as a man living with HIV since 1994. It feels like the natural legacy of It’s a Sin. There wasn't the time in that show to show the long-term story, that medications were found which saved so many lives. So this feels like a right and proper continuation. In my role as patron of the George House Trust, and a supporter of Terrence Higgins Trust, I've often been asked by people in both organisations to show modern-day characters who are HIV+ and living straightforward, happy lives, so it’s an honour to do so in Tip Toe. And there's some contentious stuff in there too, as the age-old problem of stigma raises its head, as well as the problems of HIV denial. The fight never ends, but Leo’s ready on the front line.
