HIV in older people: 'I thought it was a young person's illness' When 59-year-old Ashley was in hospital with appendicitis, neither Ashley nor the doctors considered HIV.
"They said there's nothing wrong with you, you've had a virus - not knowing that I'd still got the biggest virus you could possibly get," Ashley recalls.
Ashley was diagnosed with HIV three years ago, after having unprotected sex.
But the late diagnosis meant the virus had already started to damage Ashley's immune system. BBC News
