This might be brushed off but with the resurgence of the far right, regressive attitudes towards the LGBT+ community and homophobia on the rise, a PM publicly taking an HIV test is an important thing to do. This would have been unthinkable 30 years ago.
Credit where it’s due.
Starmer taking an HIV test has achieved something: we now know how utterly clueless people are about HIV.
1. Heterosexuals can get HIV

There's nothing else for it

Doors open in 5 minutes.
Everyone, this is Dylan.
Dylan, this is everyone.
Dylan loves books, but he couldn't eat a whole one. Actually that's a lie, he definitely could.
His proudest achievement is that he's a Very Good Dog.
