Prince Harry Vows to Continue Princess Diana’s ‘Unfinished’ Work Breaking Down HIV Stigma

Prince Harry has said that his late mother’s work fighting HIV is “unfinished” business that he feels “obligated to try and continue.”

Harry made the comments to launch a weeklong national testing drive in the U.K., in a video chat with Welsh rugby player Gareth Thomas, the first professional British rugby player to publicly come out as gay and who revealed his own HIV-positive diagnosis in 2src19.

Harry said he was passionate about advocating for HIV testing because it helped break down stigma about the disease.

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 mom’s work was unfinished, I feel obligated to try and continue that as much as possible.”
