This world AIDS day I would like to share messages with you in behalf of our charity Sentebale with support people with HIV and AIDS in the country of Lesotho in South Africa.

Globally, HIV is the second-highest cause of death amongst those aged between 10-19 years old, and it is the number one cause of death across Africa.

One tragic issue in particular is the shame and stigma linked to HIV.

This causes thousands of children to needlessly die each year because they're keeping their illness a secret and not getting the medical attention they need.

One of our main programs in Sentabale encourages students to discuss their concerns and talk openly about their health issues with medical professionals and through peer networks.

To show our support for the children of Lesotho, and help reduce the stigma for all those affected

by HIV, we are turning this World Aids Day into a day in which no-one should feel any shame about their secrets.

Myself and many others will share secrets of our own throughout the day and we are asking everyone else to do the same. Please use #FeelNoShame to share your secret on social media and show the

children of Lesotho they are not alone.

Together, we can tackle the stigma surrounding HIV and give the young people carrying it the childhood they deserve. The childhood so many of us take for granted. Thank you.
