TVPS is celebrating a landmark moment: 40 years of supporting people living with HIV across Berkshire. Four decades of compassion, resilience, activism, and community. To honour this milestone, we are bringing something truly extraordinary to Reading.
As part of our anniversary, TVPS will be displaying a section of the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt, one of the most powerful and moving pieces of British HIV history. Each panel is a handmade tribute to a life lost to HIV or AIDS. Together, they form a profound testament to love, art, grief, activism, and courage.
Bringing the Quilt to Reading is especially meaningful. TVPS was founded here in 1985, and hosting the exhibition during National HIV Testing Week allows us not only to honour the past, but also to reflect on the progress made and the hope that lies ahead.

Public viewing times:

The Pavilion, Reading
Thursday 12 February
1:00pm – 2:30pm

3Sixty, Reading University Students’ Union
Friday 13 February
1:00pm – 5:30pm
Please note: Reading University does not have on-site parking but is well served by main bus routes.

For 40 years, TVPS has stood alongside people living with HIV. The Quilt reminds us why this work began, and why it continues. We very much hope you can join us for this special preview and help us mark this important moment in TVPS’s history.
