@metrouk: 'It was a death sentence.' Steve lives in Tonic Housing, the UK's first LGBTQ+ retirement community. He spoke to us about living in London in the middle of the HIV/AIDs epidemic throughout the 1980s and 90s. Since the first cases were reported in 1981, the virus has killed millions of people worldwide, but most with HIV can now live long and healthy lives. It's currently HIV Testing Week, so you can order a free self-test, which you take yourself to get a result in just 15 minutes. #fyp #hivtest #hivtestingweek #history #lgbthistorymonth #lgbtrights #carehome #london #unitedkingdom #lgbtq🏳️🌈
