The ex-Wales captain and Harry released a 30-minute video chat to mark National HIV Testing Week, with Harry urging Britons to “go and get a test”. Thomas, a friend of the duke’s, told the PA news agency afterwards that Harry was in a “great place”, with a “sense of stability” and “sense of strength in who he is”. “So for me, I feel that when I speak to him, he is in a great place.” He added: “I feel that’s why he has the ability to do what he does and have the conversation like he had with me because he has a sense of strength in who he is.” The former sportsman, who revealed he was HIV positive in 2019 and set up the Tackle HIV campaign to end stigma around the illness, added: “He wants to be there, not just for an individual, but collectively, for everybody around the world. “But also that everybody, regardless of your category, if you’re sexually active, needs to get tested.” Harry told how HIV testing has dropped 30% during the Covid-19 pandemic.
