He took 20 vulnerable young adults aged around 17-20 year olds and trained them to do the Cardiff Half Marathon in 2017 , and it wasnt devoid of the usual teenage troubles.... it was shown On BBC Wales, Alfies Army.... I know his strength in helping every single one of those young adults as my Daughter was 1 of them and yes she, along with all the others finished it. So very proud of them and eternally grateful for his passion and commitment to every single one of those young adults who grew as the months went along and I can assure people who dont know him, his dedication does not stop when the cameras stop rolling.

Doctor said the HIV virus does not have medical cure because the virus is capable of hiding within the human cells, it remains protected from your immune system. HIV isn't a special virus - your immune system has the tools to fight it back. But because it is able to lay dormant in protected cells, your immune system is unable to remove it from your body, But with strong reactive herbal medication is capable of getting rid of the virus gradually and totally free from your body without damaging any of your cells , natural herbs kills the virus totally not just reducing the out break.

Welsh rugby player. Now retired. Total beast on the field.

[@eugenevidocq5529]

@@rangerdanger9657 thank you Francesca.

[@acchaladka]

With 100 test matches he was for years the most-capped player for Wales. A former team captain, he was selected for the British and Irish Lions tour in 2005 and captained them as well. He came out in 2009 and created a kind of pivotal moment for World Rugby, making the international game one of the most welcoming sports for us LGBTQ folks. He was granted a CBE in 2020, and supports several charities including one for youth in crisis. He's quite a guy.

I have worked and lived and loved around and with people who are HIV positive and it is so heartening to hear this. We've all grown up a wee bit and realise that it is just another condition. More power to this man. x

[@HaTer-xs8sh]

It’s not just another condition though is it?!? It’s self inflicted.

[@PaladinesAngel]

@@HaTer-xs8sh no it’s unlucky. Everyone has sex. Some people have contracted HIV through blood transfusions. It’s like saying people have heart attacks because they run too far or eat too much or smoke too much. What a silly thing to say.

[@PaladinesAngel]

Because often there are no symptoms when someone is HIV+. And they may not know they are. And people are afraid to get tested because of the stigma. And yet once on treatment and your viral load is undetectable it’s impossible to pass it on. So it’s actually the ignorant hate of the masses that keeps the virus spreading.
