Now he is one of five trial volunteers who will be given three doses of a vaccine designed to mimic HIV over a 12 month period.: "I know that HIV has had such an impact on my community in the past.
But with modern treatments the diagnosis is no longer a death sentence and it is now regarded as a manageable chronic condition.Mr Harry never contracted HIV and would not be able to take part in the trial if he had. "My first dose in on Monday and I will then just be keeping a diary each day about how it makes me feel.
Mr Harry said that due to the lack of education in school he was left anxious about HIV and it left him scared to come out as gay.
