Your fave naughty royal Prince Harry is doin’ some seriously good shit recently.
While he’s no longer training in Australia for you to stalk admire from afar, he’s now becoming a strong advocate for sexual health.
Harry wanted to demonstrate just how easy it is to get tested for HIV to the masses, because the rates of the disease would lower considerably if everyone got regularly tested and practiced safe sex if they received a positive result. The test is a super simple process, and takes mere minutes.
The prince decided that in order to normalise the procedure in the modern day of 2016, he’d get a HIV test himself, live on Facebook.
The prince, who obviously tested negative, said,
“It’s amazing how quick it is. It’s better that everyone goes and gets tested. Why wouldn’t you?Whether you’re a man, woman, gay, straight, black, white, whatever, even ginger, why wouldn’t you come and have a test?”
Harry and William‘s mum, the forever-adored Princess Diana, was a huge advocate for the awareness and erasure of HIV worldwide.
The Kensington Palace Twitter account (yep, welcome to 2016) tweeted that Harry would attend the International AIDS conference next week in Durban.
Prince Harry believes his generation needs to take leadership in the fight against HIV, or risk losing the gains of those who’ve come before
