Would you go on a date with someone who has HIV? What about stopping in the street to give someone first aid - Would HIV make you change you mind?

Apparently, loads of us still don't understand the virus and, according to the Terrence Higgins Trust, external, nearly a third of people in Yorkshire and the Humber region would be uncomfortable giving first aid to someone living with HIV on effective treatment.

The charity is now warning that out-of-date beliefs about HIV transmission are fuelling stigma and discrimination, which prevents people coming forward for testing.

Mick Mason, regional manager for the trust, says: "It is saddening to see that, in 2017, people in Yorkshire and the Humber are still being treated differently because of their HIV status."

Joey Steele, who was diagnosed three years ago, says there are still plenty of myths about the illness:

Here's the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) Lancaster Bomber - airborne again after a major refit.

The aircraft is currently undergoing tests with the Aircraft Restoration Company at Duxford Airfield in Cambridgeshire.

The bomber usually lives at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire - and we're wondering whether the plan is to get it back to the county in time for a royal visit next week.

The BBMF is celebrating 60 years - and Prince William will be at the station next Tuesday to launch the celebrations.

Police are appealing for the family of a 42-year-old Scunthorpe woman to come forward.
