This World AIDS Day we are asking people to join us in solidarity by wearing their red ribbons.
Since 1988, it’s been an opportunity to raise awareness, lend support and remember those who have been lost.
If you’re in London, the south east or Glasgow you may have seen our posters on tubes and trains, or even on the big screen in Brighton station. You may also have seen our campaign online on social media, Care2 or other websites.
To donate £1 and receive your free red ribbon, text RIBBON to 70707.
Terms and conditions
If you wish to discuss this mobile payment please call 020 3282 7863 to speak to the provider of our text to donate service.
Once we've received your text, we will contact you by phone and SMS to arrange delivery of your ribbon. We’ll tell you a bit more about our work and ask for your support but there’s no obligation to make a donation.
If you do not wish to be contacted in this way, text NOCOMMS THT to 70060.
During the call you will be given the opportunity to update your contact preferences. You can also keep these updated by emailing donations@tht.org.uk or calling 0207 7812 1612. It can take us up to two working days to remove your number from our call list so please accept our apologies if you receive a call in the meantime.
You can also order your ribbon without donating by emailing your details to ribbon@tht.org.uk.
In order for ribbons to arrive before Thursday 1 December they must be posted by Tuesday 29 November.
If we receive your address details after 2pm on Tuesday 29 November we cannot guarantee your red ribbon will arrive for 1 December. Terrence Higgins Trust does not accept responsibility for items lost or delayed in the post.

Please note if you text after the closing date or you get the keyword or short code wrong when you text, you may still be charged your standard network message charge.

There is no limit on the number of times you may make a donation via text but there is a daily limit of £30 on text donations. You will not be able to donate more by text from the same number on the same day, but you may still incur your standard network message charge if you try.
If you would like to donate more to Terrence Higgins Trust you can do so online using your credit or debit card or PayPal.
Your SMS donation may be eligible for Gift Aid. We may contact you on the mobile number you used to give you the opportunity to add Gift Aid to your donation. As part of the ordering process, we may send you a link to a page where you can submit your details. As with any mobile browsing, you may incur charges from your network provider. If we ask you to text those details, then a standard network message charge (based on your service provider rates) will be incurred.
