For Mercy Shibemba, growing up with HIV in Cardiff was something she thought would have to be kept a secret.

Part of the difficulty was being unable to access specialised support services for her voice to be heard.

But a new HIV advocacy network, Wales HIV Advocacy Matters (WHAM) now aims to change that by increasing community understanding and improving access to testing and treatment.

The project is set to run for the next two years.

It has been set up by volunteers, including some sexual health and HIV specialists in the Cardiff and Vale health board area, in the hope it will benefit people across Wales.

Medical progress has made HIV a manageable and undetectable virus and Mercy, 23, who was born with HIV, is able to live a "happy and healthy life".

She has travelled the world to talk about her experience of living with HIV and advocates for improvements in testing, treatment and support.

"Growing up in Cardiff and talking about HIV was not two things that went together for me," she said.
