Prince Harry has urged everyone to “go and get a test” for HIV after revealing hopes of carrying on his mother’s “unfinished” work.

The Duke of Sussex and ex-Wales captain Gareth Thomas, who are friends, chatted in depth on a 30-minute video call to mark National HIV Testing Week.

The duke described himself as “a typical guy” who just wants to “fix things”, and said he feels an “obligation” to try to continue Diana, Princess of Wales’ bid to remove stigma surrounding the illness.

Normalising HIV testing could help achieve the goal of ending new HIV cases in the UK by 2030, Prince Harry told the rugby star.

Speaking from California, Prince Harry said: “Every single one of us has a duty, or at least an opportunity, to get tested ourselves or to make it easier for everybody else to get tested. And then it just becomes a regular thing like anything else.

“This testing week, especially in the UK, or wherever you are in the world, go and get a test. Let people know that you know your status. Do it!”

Asked what made him so passionate about advocating over HIV, Harry said: “Once you get to meet people and you see the suffering around the world, I certainly can’t turn my back on that.

“Then add in the fact that my mum’s work was unfinished, I feel obligated to try and continue that as much as possible.
