A TikTok star who lives with HIV says he has lost friends but found joy in new relationships after going public with his status and busting myths about the condition.
Jay Hawkridge contracted the viral disease during a one-night stand back in 2019.
Equipped with next to no knowledge of the condition and worried about his health, the 27-year-old turned in on himself and shut himself away from some of those closest to him, including his mum.
