MP Kevin McKenna publicly disclosed his HIV status to combat stigma and encourage testing. Speaking during a Commons debate for National HIV Testing Week, he reflected on how different the experience of living with HIV is now compared to the past. McKenna, who has served as an MP since winning a narrow election, emphasized that with proper treatment, HIV is manageable, likening it to a chronic condition. His statement was underscored by charity leader Richard Angell, highlighting the significance of McKenna's openness in changing public perceptions of HIV.
Kevin talked to the change in his lifetime. He shows that people living with HIV cannot just access medicine that means they can live a healthy life and cannot pass on the virus.
You won't pass this disease on when you're treated. You won't suffer. And honestly it's boring and mundane.
