On December, 2012, Daily Mail reported that Rachel Dilly was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS resulting from having unprotected sex with her partner. She, along with eight other women interviewed, expressed shock over the contraction of the disease.

‘I was terrified about what would happen, and I became depressed and had panic attacks. I was also very ashamed,' said Rachel.

Displaying fascinating ignorance of the disease, she also said ‘I had two short relationships and didn’t use condoms a few times because I really didn’t think I was at risk. I thought HIV was an African disease, or a gay man’s one.’
