Gareth Thomas tells Prince Harry about HIV stigma fight

Former Wales rugby captain Gareth Thomas says he hopes his work as an advocate for people living with HIV will eclipse the successes of his sports career.

Thomas, who revealed he was living with the condition in September, is a spokesperson for the Terrence Higgins Trust, which released a new excerpt of his interview with Prince Harry to mark World Aids Day.

Thomas told him: "I always felt that my life was to play rugby and to represent Wales.

"But I actually feel that my rugby gave me the platform to actually do what I am doing now.

"There's not many people from a simple life like I come from who can have the power to change other people's lives."

He said "breaking stigma around HIV is something that will have a legacy everlasting".
