- After his HIV diagnosis, former pro rugby player Gareth Thomas set out on a mission to tackle the stigma and shame that prevent people from getting the testing and care they need. In this empowering talk, Thomas shares his mission to demystify and redefine what it means to live with HIV -- and shares how each of us can normalize conversations around all vilified conditions.

Well done mate, we can all get diseases, we should help each other and never be such a thing as a stigma
God bless Dr Abiola on youtube channel for the great work you've been doing in people's lives . I am a living testimony of your Hiv cure . Keep saving lives sir
Thank you, that was an inspiring talk!
Awesome talk from an awesome dude. Best use of 10 minutes all day
I'm 47 years old, I couldn't care less about stigma or what other people think of me.
Hello
I want someone I can talk to
Well done !
I admire you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow! Alfie! What a public speaker! Excellent.
I appreciate and admire Gareth Thomas to come and talk about his own life experiences after his HIV diagnosis. I think it is really important for patients to talk about their experiences if they are comfortable enough because it can help other patients that have just gotten diagnosed or don’t know how to navigate the next steps. This deals with the ethics principle of respect for autonomy where we have intentionality and understanding of the patient and their needs. It is refreshing to know that there are many different outlets where patients can share their stories with their identity or anonymously. As a future healthcare provider, I think knowing what these outlets are for my patients can be super helpful for their medical journey. I wonder if there is a forum or somewhere like a database that can be used to refer patients.
You give me hope…
Nice video
excellent! blessings!
just in time with all those experiments starting to crack :))))
I think you are amazing, your a good person x
I couldn't help but wonder what Gareth Thomas' former wife must feel when she hears him talk of his "husband". Is it necessary for him to say things that could make her feel betrayed... which arguably she was. Gareth did serious damage to this woman which should not be played down. To say "my partner" would, I think, be more appropriate.
👏👏
4:30 !!

I just got my diagnose yesterday and even my blood pressure went immediately down at the moment. I'm scared and I feel damaged, but I got the certainty of my status now and I've been counseled on the process I need to start from today, I am lucky that in my state I will get my HIV treatment and follow up completely free by public health insurance and this helps me not feel so insecure but the stigma is there, I'm afraid of talking to my family and my best friend about it.
Must be horrible.
@@rowdyelitehater8595 the impact of the news is, but then I'm 3 months into my treatment and nothing in my life has really actually changed for bad. My best friend took it amazingly and he's very supportive so there's that change too.
My positive result came on 20231123 then I have started to take biktarvy one pill one day from 20231128 without any side effects. Every day is different and every day is a new day. Happy new year.
How do you feel now?
👍👍👍👍
I do like this guy,he has the same name as me
Extensively times that step we are afraid to take might just be the right one. Thank you, Doctor Igho for your Compassion and for not allowing me down throughout the whole revolution. Your medication that cured me is super remendous I am delighted I came across your channel.
Should be talking how he caught it and how to protect from it either using medication like prep or condoms
I understand the importance of people with Aids breaking the stigma but how is it that every TED talker thinks that we have the time energy and resources to take up there individual cause ?
Nobody’s asking any such thing. Do as you like. It’s about dispelling ignorance…. especially the WILFUL type.
OK, miss celestial crankypants, I think you need a time out.
Celestial circle you should be ashamed of yourself, one day something may happen to you then you will be wanting to tell your story about stigma
All glory to Dr Abiola for curing me from hiv with his herbal medication …..
He's pretty hot!
""""Discrimination"""" LOL
It's the consequences of your own actions.
Have you tested yourself? I got it from my girlfriend, and yes, it is consequence of my own action, loving someone. Start thinking kid
Many people get HIV from their mothers, there some people that got the virus by blood transfusion... HIV isn't a punishment, HIV is a virus. Virus are natural. Unfortunately, they kill us, if we don't do the treatment.
secondly
Primero
It’s ok, we all have acquired immune deficiency now. Safe and effective!
God bless Dr Abiola on youtube channel for the great work you've been doing in people's lives . I am a living testimony of your Hiv cure . Keep saving lives sir
All glory to Dr Abiola for curing me from hiv with his herbal medication …..
His poor wife.

@@Xphyzeek She was used as cover
You mean like he's bi and she's a beard?
Should have read your Bible.
If you had read YOUR Bible, you may not have made that comment.
