Gareth Thomas insists scaling a mountain is the perfect metaphor for tackling HIV stigma as he set off on the Three Peaks challenge for his Tackle HIV campaign.
Thomas will be joined on the Three Peaks by some well-known celebrity supporters, partners from the Terrence Higgins Trust and ViiV Healthcare. as well as Tackle HIV advocates, some of whom are living with HIV.
The team will be walking the highest mountains in Wales, England, and Scotland to demonstrate that living with HIV need not be a barrier, and to celebrate how far science and medicine have come in the last few decades.
