He is one of Europe’s longest-surviving people with HIV, having contracted the disease in 1981. Following the death of his partner Terrence Higgins from AIDS in 1982, Dr Whitaker co-founded the Terrence Higgins Trust, a charity set up to provide services for people with HIV. In 2007, Dr Whitaker’s professional and personal experiences led to his founding the (Tuke Institute ), an international organisation researching the health-effectiveness of medical services. ==Early life== Rupert Whitaker was educated at Lord Wandsworth College, Hampshire, from which he graduated in 1980 at the age of 17. He came out as gay at school in 1978. In 1981, he attended St. Hild and St. Bede College at Durham University to study philosophy and psychology. While there his partner Terry Higgins became one of the first people to die from AIDS in the UK. Rupert Whitaker became ill himself and transferred to the University of London. He was not expected to live longer than a year.〔http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/hiv-thirty-years-after-the-first-diagnosis-britain-heads-for-100000-cases-2293194.html〕
