A mum has bravely opened up about her HIV diagnosis, urging people to make sure they get tested regularly as it can 'happen to anybody'. Naomi Sloyan, 56, who works as a location manager for Coronation Street said HIV was the last thing she or medics suspected when she first went to her GP with extreme fatigue, pins and needles and cold sores.
She was only handed the diagnosis after falling seriously ill with pneumonia. She had lost weight, to around six stone, and had ended up being admitted to hospital for two weeks.
It was only when tests showed it was a form of pneumonia associated with HIV that the diagnosis was finally made in March 2018. The Wilmslow mum-of-one said she was shocked to be told she had HIV and that she had actually been living with it since 2014, reports CheshireLive.
