He 'didn't know it was still around'
A man who has been diagnosed with HIV after a one-night stand claims he didn't know the virus was 'still around'.
Jay, who is a content creator from Leeds, said: “I barely had any knowledge of HIV before I was diagnosed. I was diagnosed back in September 2019, before It's A Sin, before I’d watched Pose, and before a few of the big cultural events that have happened in the last couple of years. Jay added: “In all honesty, it was more confusing than it was scary because I was so unequipped to what it was. I had no information as to what it was – especially having been to the hospital.
“I take two pills a day to manage my condition and I am unable to transmit it to a partner for the rest of my life. I have been a relationship for the last couple of months, it has been a slow solidly building thing, it has been really nice." Jay has also praised TV soap Eastenders, who is due to feature a storyline about a character, Zack Hudson, who finds out he is HIV positive in coming weeks, for highlighting the condition. Jay has praised the 'monumental' storyline for educating young people about the virus.
