Today is #WorldAIDSDay and this year is especially meaningful. From sharing my story @British_Airways, to presenting to the @metpoliceuk, and the @UKMoD_DefenceRT now allowing people living with HIV to serve as aircrew. Seminal Progress. There's more to do, and I’m here for it💪🏻

This change happened because people living with HIV never give up, and because Terrence Higgins Trust and @BritishHIVAssoc made clear that a better way was possible. Find out more. 👇 tht.org.uk/news/people-livin…

Despite incredible advances made in the treatment of #HIV, there is still far too much stigma and misinformation surrounding the subject. Here are five facts about HIV which are vital to understanding this #WorldAIDSDay #UequalsU #CantPassItOn

People living with #HIV continue to face stigma & discrimination. This #WorldAIDSday, watch Dr @teozka explain the science behind ZERO risk of HIV transmission when people take effective treatment & have undetectable viral load & why we need to destigmatize HIV. #HealthForAll

Today is World AIDS Day. Held every year on 1 December, it's a time to remember those we've lost to HIV. The red ribbon is the international symbol for HIV awareness and support for people living with HIV. But for our community, it’s more than a ribbon. #WorldAIDSDay

What a week! 10 years ago today, I was diagnosed with HIV. The first question I asked the doctor was, "How long will I live?". We didn't know then, but we know now, that the answer to that question is just as long as you!

Yesterday, 10 years after that life-changing moment, my dream finally became a reality, and I flew my very first flight for British Airways. To everyone who has helped me throughout the journey so far, THANK YOU. I couldn't have done it without you.

There's more work to be done for people across the world who face challenges just like mine, and I want to help. For now though it's time to get acquainted with the new office and if I don't see you before, see you in the sky! #flying #hiv #pilot #aviation #airlines

This is the most powerful 60 seconds of TV you'll see this year. Please watch, share and tell everyone that #HIV has changed. Time to break down the stigma 💪🏻

PREMIERE: It’s time to watch the first TV advert on HIV in almost 40 years — made proudly in partnership with @scotgov. We’ve made huge medical progress in the fight against #HIV since the 1980s. But abhorrent stigma remains a significant issue today. Please watch and share.

Fiercely independent, quick witted and inconspicuously kind. I can only hope that if I make it to 82, I do it with the same style and grace as you. What you've left behind will never be replaced but I promise we won't forget. I love you Nan ❤️
