For people living with HIV, the knowledge that undetectable equals untransmittable is huge news, not only as a means of preventing transmission, but in breaking down the stigma that many people still experience.

Call me old fashioned, but I love songs that end. As a songwriter, I feel like you put a fade out when you can't work out how to end a song.
We live in a fear-based world where HIV stigma can prevail.
I think it's best if I remain as dysfunctional as I can.
When someone is saying something bigoted, try and remember that that person actually just doesn't understand, and that it comes from a level of ignorance, or from socialised brainwashing, or religious ideas.
Because bisexual people almost have a foot in the gay and the straight world, their friends can misunderstand them too. Like if a bisexual man starts dating another man, people are like 'Ah, he's gay,' but you know, bisexual people remain bisexual, and their attractions can change and flux over time.
I live in a bubble, but there have been times when my bubble has been burst.
Courtney isn't just a costume, it's a way I express my femininity.
There is so much frustration in the heterosexual male community manifesting in different ways, whether it be aggression or sexism or racism. I'm not saying all heterosexual men are that way, but you do see a lot of it.
There's something problematic with this idea that straight men can be 'turned', and the binary of gay and straight and the lack of knowledge of the Kinsey scale.
I think that gay men in particular need to just listen to bisexual people and believe them when they say they're attracted to different genders.
I acknowledge that I'm really fortunate to have found pockets of people all through my life who've accepted me.
I'm no Joan of Arc, but it's pretty revolutionary having a gender illusionist selling the illusion of beauty to females.
I had post-traumatic stress from 'Drag Race' a little bit.
I'd always been a performer, growing up in a theatre school.
I think my first actual real job was a door-to-doors salesperson for Foxtel, a cable TV company, and that lasted a couple of weeks because I got held, like I wouldn't say at swordpoint, but I was kept in someone's house against my will and she did have a sword and was sort of brandishing it.
Caitlyn Jenner, for all of her flaws, did start a conversation around the world about gender.
So many reactions in our lives are based on what happened to us when we were younger.
Normally when you go to a queer space the people often look like you, they are the same age as you and so on, but at Mardi Gras and at queer events in general, everybody is different, everybody comes together. And that is what I love about Pride and Mardi Gras and those sort of events.
The U.K.'s got the most advanced relationship with masculinity, femininity and sexuality.
You can't really necessarily explain what being on a reality show is like until it's happening to you.
The art of drag is intrinsic to who I am.
I know when there's lots of stuff racing around in my head it can be hard to sleep and stay asleep. And one of the biggest things that used to keep me awake at night was worrying about my gender and sexuality.
After Pride, Christmas is a drag queen's next best holiday. It's pretty gay, full of tinsel and glitter and finery and campness.
We have such a rigid idea of what heterosexuality is and that's problematic. We have such a rigid idea of what gay is and that's also problematic.
Brexit happened. Donald Trump is president. If Ann Widdecombe won CBB Year of the Woman, it would be the third sign of the Apocalypse.
I would have hated for my 'Drag Race' moment to have come down to lip syncing a Whitney Houston song.
I'm definitely more attracted to men and masculinity - not just cis men but trans guys, too.
It's a common misunderstanding, that when a bisexual person is dating someone of the opposite sex that they are now straight, or if they are dating someone of the same sex they are now gay.
I think it's so important to think about the basic human rights of others and to use our collective voices, minds and bodies to lift those people up and bring about change.
Drag can make you a little more fearless and I think girls especially love drag because they get to see somebody define their own standard of feminine beauty.
Recognizing your place of power and privilege in an unfair system can, as an ally, help you to start using that privilege as an opportunity to do good.
Drag is more like a license to be what you want. But you don't need drag to do that.
As a drag performer, people have traditionally put us into the category of 'pervert' or 'deviant' or things like that. So I've always been really careful not to be vulgar or grotesque with sexuality.
'Fight For Love' is a dancefloor banger all about coming together and fighting for the things we believe in.
Pole dancing is way harder than it looks.
An ex-boyfriend of mine is living with HIV. He has an undetectable viral load so I know first-hand how this can affect people in a serodiscordant couple - which is where one partner is HIV-negative and one is HIV-positive.
I genuinely had always thought, this sounds dumb, I always thought that 'RuPaul's Drag Race' was shot in the basement of RuPaul's house.
Yeah, back in 2003, I went to 'Australian Idol' the first day as a boy, and I got knocked out. So I went back the next day in drag and made it into the Top 12 and got a record deal and toured around Australia.
I'm just looking at other opportunities, television... not so much another existing reality show, but more about creating stuff.
I remember my first Mardi Gras. It was in the year 2001. I decided earlier that day that I was going to go in drag. It was my third time in drag.
On New Year's Eve, 2000, my friends and I were going to a party in Melbourne and I decided to do it in drag. It was the happiest night of my life.
I'm a big fan of Stormzy.
You can literally tour all around Australia in two weekends.
The Spice Girls and Fran Drescher were such important parts of my childhood. There was something about them that allowed me to be myself.
It's detrimental not to support marriage equality, even just on a financial level.
People care about what I have to say now, and they want to hear it, and that's one of the greatest gifts you can be given.
It's so easy to be polarised and yell from different sides of the room about certain subjects, but I think it's so much better to walk into the middle and have a conversation to drive change forward.
I am a Madonna fan.
I think it's really important to acknowledge that gay men and straight men can be friends.
