Karen Lumley urged constituents travelling to South Africa for the World Cup not to expose themselves to HIV, whatever the score.

Speaking at an event in Parliament to highlight the importance of staying safe, Karen said:  “I wish anyone from Redditch County who is travelling to South Africa a fantastic time. It’s an amazing country and it will be the trip of a lifetime. But I urge them not to take risks with their health, because there is no cure for HIV.”
