Princess Diana embraced people living with #HIV, creating powerful images that challenged HIV stigma.
Prince Harry took up her mantle. When he took an HIV test, live, the uptake of home testing kits increased by 400%.
He continues through his work to encourage testing and to challenge stigma.
I have no doubt she would be proud.

People living with HIV still encounter fear and ignorance, often based on out of date information. Most people remain unaware that effective HIV treatment also means that there is no risk of sexual transmission.
For #WorldAIDSDay I spoke to Metro about the persistence of HIV stigma.

#HIV stigma harms people who live with HIV - and hampers our ability to prevent transmission.
If you live with HIV, or are an ally to those of us who do, please join the #FightHIVStigma march and rally in London on 18th March.
If you register it will help us with planning and, if you want to march with me and my gang, put NAM aidsmap as your organisation.
I will be grateful for any boosts (retoots?) to spread the word. 🙏
