EastEnders' latest storyline involving HIV has been praised by Liverpool's Sahir House.
The BBC soap has been working on a new story which will see character, Zack Hudson, diagnosed with the virus. Played by James Farrar, the soon-to-be-dad receives the diagnosis this month when a former acquaintance, Brett, turns up in Walford and reveals he has been diagnosed with HIV and urges Zack to get tested.
Eastenders has been working alongside Terence Higgins Trust, an HIV and sexual health charity, to accurately reflect and raise awareness of HIV, from the aftermath of receiving an HIV diagnosis to the treatment options and implications for Zack reflecting what it is now like to live with the virus.
