Ian Green, the Chief Executive of the country’s largest sexual health and HIV Charity, the Terrence Higgins Trust, paid tribute to the role of the late British Monarch, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who died on 8th September, in tackling HIV stigma. Mr Green wrote on behalf of the THT organisation, “Her immense support for charities and good causes has been a hallmark of her reign. She has worked to tackle HIV stigma and support HIV care through her domestic and Commonwealth duties. Whether it is meeting a London-based patient with an AIDS-related illness in 1989, opening the Mildmay HIV Centre in Kampala, Uganda in 2007, or visiting an AIDS memorial garden in 2015, she has taken her message of compassion to a global audience time and again. Today, we join with those around the globe mourning her passing and add our tributes to an unparalleled public servant.'
