Better safe than sorry! On Thursday morning, Prince Harry took to Facebook Live to share footage of himself getting tested for HIV at the Guys and St. Thomas’ Hospital in London.
The 31-year-old red
headed royal met with a doctor to show just how easy it is to get
tested. Noting that he is currently “single,” Harry still thought it was
important to have the test done, “whether you’re a man, woman, gay,
straight, black, white, whatever, a ginger!”
He was
asked to wash his hands and then got his finger pricked. The results
were instant and Harry was given a clean bill of health.
Prince
William’s younger brother continued to promote the simple steps to get
tested, saying, “Why wouldn’t you? It’s a normal test.”
Prince Harry is determined to carry on his late mother Princess Diana’s legacy
of fighting against HIV. Last month he announced his plans to work
closely with charities dedicated to HIV awareness and prevention.
“The
Prince is now determined to help his generation understand that the
battle against the disease has not yet been won and still needs
fighting,” a royal spokesperson said.
The
royals have also recently been making headlines for their stance against
bullying. Just last month, Prince William appeared on the cover of the
LGBT magazine, Attitude, making history as the first royal to do so.
“No one
should have to put up with the kind of hate that these young people
have endured in their lives,” the father of two told the mag. “The young
gay, lesbian and transgender individuals I met through Attitude are truly brave to speak out and to give hope to people who are going through terrible bullying right now.”
