A Glasgow mum has praised a new HIV awareness advert.
Emma McAnally, 34, was diagnosed with HIV seven years ago and has welcomed a “long overdue” television campaign that will see the first new advert raising awareness of the virus in 40 years.advert on HIV to air in Scotland since the UK Government’s Don’t Die Of Ignorance campaign featuring falling tombstones launches at 7.58pm on Monday evening on STV.
She added: “When I was diagnosed with HIV in 2016 I was in total disbelief as I thought this was something that would never affect me. “Unfortunately, this stigma deeply affected me, my family and friends didn’t know how to respond and it was pretty horrific for me. “I hope it helps people living with HIV who are struggling to come to terms with their diagnosis feel a little bit less alone and also educates and raises awareness.
