‘Terry World AIDS Day’ pin badge worn by Martyn Butler OBE, a friend of Terry and one of the co-founders of the Terrence Higgins Trust. He wore it on 2 December 2025 at the unveiling of a blue plaque at the birthplace of Terry in Haverfordwest in 1945.

This type of badge was sold to fund the work of the Terrence Higgins Trust, a UK charity working in the field of HIV and sexual health. THT was set up in 1983 following the death of Terry Higgins (born in 1945 in Haverfordwest), who was the first named person in the UK to die of an AIDS related illness in July 1982.
