How can we be HIV free by 2030?
Virgin Radio presenter Graeme Smith hosts this groupchat with Hollyoaks actor David McPherson, his husband David Allwood and the HIV expert and broadcaster Susan Cole.
In this at times deeply emotional group chat we hear about how Peter found out he was HIV positive and how over a decade later his husband David is still negative, all thanks to HIV medication keeping him undetectable, meaning the virus is untransmittable (U=U). We also hear about how prep has changed the game for HIV.
