A Coronation Street worker was diagnosed with HIV after becoming seriously ill with pneumonia.
The 56-year-old mum is now urging people to make sure they get regular tests, after she had lived with it for years without knowing. Naomi Sloyan, who works as a location manager for the soap, told Cheshire Live that HIV was the last thing she or medics suspected when she went to her GP with ongoing illness.
She was diagnosed when tests showed she was suffering with a form of pneumonia associated with HIV in March 2018. Naomi said: "I have been living with HIV since 2014 but obviously I didn't know I was HIV positive for all that time.
