I have HIV.
I take one pill, once a day.
Thanks to my treatment I will live just as long as any of my peers - and my medication stops me passing the virus on.
If you’re diagnosed with HIV know there’s love, support and a future for you.

Those who died early are a huge reason for modern HIV medicine.
