Zack Hudson (James Farrar) was forced to reveal his HIV diagnosis in the Queen Vic after being goaded by Ben Mitchell ( Max Bowden ) and EastEnders fans were left furious with some of the residents' responses to the health admission.
Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) immediately questioned whether Zack should be working at his restaurant because of his diagnosis and told his head chef to take some time off before Zack hit back and quit.
Meanwhile, Karen Taylor (Lorraine Stanley), Mitch Baker (Roger Griffiths) and Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) expressed ignorant and archaic opinions as they shared incorrect and misinformation surrounding HIV.
