#HIV #HIVPositive #pride
I have been loving with HIV for over 7 years now.
Last year, Alex Belfield, who was convicted of stalking me, and is now serving a prison sentence, made remarks about my medical condition in videos that YouTube refused to take down.
This led me to address his comments by coming out fully that I am HIV+
I then turned to the Terrence Higgins Trust for help and support.
They saved my life.
I was accepted into their Positive Voices programme, where I worked with others living with HIV and a mentor to workout my trauma to unlock my story.
I now take my story to schools, universities and companies as a public speaker. Sharing the message of HIV awareness and education to tackle stigma and help others.
I am very proud of the progress we have made in 40 years, but very aware that we have a lot more work to do to reach our aim of ending HIV transmissions by 2030.
This video is from one of the training sessions for Positive Voices mentored by Jojo Thomas.

#AlexBelfield #VoiceofReason #BBCPresenterScandal
I am Philip Dehany, one of the several victims who were stalked by former BBC presenter Alex Belfield, which led to him being jailed for five and a half years.
I was interviewed for BBC East Midlands Today about my experience being harassed by Alex Belfield, and how it impacted my family and I, and why I am now taking legal action against Belfield.
The interview was broadcast on Tuesday 28th August 2023, on BBC East Midlands Today.
My Story:
I was one of the several victims attacked and harassed by Alex Belfield, because of my sexuality.
I spoke out about him to combat homophobia and am now trying to raise £15,000 to seek acknowledgment, an apology and damages.
I have already paid over £5,500 in legal fees, and now need to continue to raise £15,000 to pay for the Particulars of Claim.
If you are able to continue to support me, by sharing my story, thank you.
I am raising money through Crowd Justice. All the money raised will go directly to Samuel Solicitors.

Who I Am:
I am Philip Dehany and I need your help. I was a theatre blogger and am now a volunteer for the Terrence Higgins Trust.
I am one of the several victims who were harassed by former BBC presenter Alex Belfield, which led to him being jailed for five and a half years. After his trial concluded, but before he was sentenced, Belfield publicly revealed information about my HIV status. I am now claiming compensation from him in the civil courts, under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
Belfield’s awful campaign of harassment against me, (much of which was directed at my sexuality) continued even during and after his trial. He constantly published harassing videos about me and others, and made a lot of money from YouTube advertising revenue and by asking for donations from his followers.
The impact upon me has been huge - my reputation has been seriously damaged and I lost my passion, confidence and ultimately my income as a theatre blogger. I am now seeking therapy.
Unless Belfield agrees to settle with me, which seems very unlikely, I will have no choice but to issue court proceedings against him and my costs to take the matter all the way to trial could reach £100,000.
Although being convicted for stalking and settling a defamation claim with Jeremy Vine, Belfield still refuses to acknowledge the damage he causes to me.
Please help me to raise legal fees to claim compensation from ex BBC presenter Alex Belfield who harassed and stalked me, and then threatened “he’d be back”.
