HIV diagnosis was 'always there' - Derek

Reflecting on his diagnosis, Derek explains: “I was 23. I had a group of friends – we’d go out, work, have a good time.

“Apart from the haemophilia, I was fit and well. It was so hard to imagine that you’ve only got a year left.”

Despite testing positive for HIV, Derek says he had no physical symptoms.

"It was just something that was always there – it wasn’t affecting my physically.”
