Our patrons are respected and highly influential figures who agree with us that HIV testing and sexual health promotion are key to finding solutions to a whole range of connected issues within the healthcare sector.

We’re proud and honoured to have individuals of their stature on board, and know that they’ll do all they can to continue to ensure that the Saving Lives message reaches as many people as possible.

From HIV and Syphilis to Hepatitis B and C, and on to Chlamydia and gonorrhoea, testing saves lives. Our charity exists to break down the stigma that still prevents people from accessing their local testing services. Our patrons understand the importance of this work.
