Prince Harry Takes HIV Test to Encourage People to Get Tested


I like Prince Harry. I mean, he may be the so-called black sheep of the family, in that he parties and he doesn't always carry around that immaculate, dignified, royal aura (not that there's anything wrong with that), but when push comes to shove he really comes through, doesn't he? 

The Kensington Palace official Instagram page was updated today with a photo of the Prince taking an HIV test to show people how easy it is to do it and hopefully reduce some of that general dread about taking the test. 

"Prince Harry gets tested for HIV at Burrell St Sexual Health Clinic to show how quick and easy it is to be tested for HIV," the photo caption says. "It is a free, simple finger prick test and gives nearly instant results. Prince Harry believes that until everyone is relaxed about taking HIV tests - whether from higher risk groups or not - then tackling the stigma and fear surrounding this simple test will continue to allow the virus to win. Watch the test live on The Royal Family's Facebook page. www.facebook.com/thebritishmonarchy."

Like I said, he really bleeds himself to redeem himself. This time, literally.
