Prince Harry: get tested for HIV to protect others in same way as for Covid

Duke of Sussex says in video with Gareth Thomas that he hopes to continue Diana's work to eradicate stigma

The Duke of Sussex has urged people to know your status" and get tested for HIV, saying he hopes to carry on his mother's work to help eradicate stigma and misunderstanding surrounding the virus.

He told former Welsh rugby captain Gareth Thomas, who lives with HIV, that there had been a huge change with people openly talking about the condition in the 35 years after his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, opened the first Aids unit at Middlesex hospital in London. But more must be done to make progress towards the UK goal of ending new HIV cases by 2030, he added.
