Statement from Terry Longden, AIDS2000 National Ambassador:
"I am honoured to have been asked to become National Ambassador for AIDS2000 charity.
Why a Northern Irish based HIV/AIDS charity? Why not? HIV doesn't discriminate, so why should I?
Having publicly disclosed my HIV status recently, I feel that if I can help anyone, may they be man,
woman, child, black, white, gay or straight, then it's my job to do so.
A support structure is vital when a person is battling any kind of stigma, so any support
I receive is wholeheartedly accepted and any support I give, I will give with conviction."
