REUTERS: Former Wales captain Gareth Thomas has revealed he has been living with HIV"for years" and appealed for support to"break the stigma" around the condition.
"Now even though I've been forced to tell you this, I choose to fight, to educate and break the stigma around this subject." "I had a fear people would judge me and treat me like a leper because of a lack of knowledge," the paper quoted him as saying."To me, wanting to die was just a natural thought and felt like the easier way out, but you have to confront things. And having a strong support system and the personal strength and experience of overcoming those emotions got me through it."
Thomas's revelation comes just over a week before Wales play their first World Cup match against Georgia in Japan, where the former skipper will work as a pundit for broadcaster ITV.
