“When AIDS came along and I spent six years in sheer terror… That was part of my landscape then, this terror that was always there,” Gaurdian Weekend magazine quoted Everett as saying.

However, the 53-year-old says it was not until the treatment for the AIDS detection came that he could sigh a breath of relief.

“Nearly everyone I slept with was dying, you couldn’t test until about 1986, and that was really the big period of my life,” he added.
