Gareth Thomas, HIV and I

Rugby legend Gareth Thomas comes out and speaks openly about what it means to live with HIV. In a powerful and emotional documentary, he goes public with his condition and reveals how he hid the truth about his health, only to find out that it left him depressed and contemplating suicide. Now, he's on a mission to change perceptions about HIV by raising awareness, fighting prejudice, and taking on the biggest physical challenge of his career: leading the world's toughest Iron Man. With the help of family, friends, medical experts, and other people living with HIV, he sets out to tackle the stigma, myths, and misunderstandings surrounding the condition. Modern medicine may have made the virus treatable and non-transmissible, but old ideas about HIV still persist, and Gareth is on a mission to shatter stereotypes and show that "he has HIV and he's OK."
