best known as the wife of Tom Cruise, Nicole has since become a member 
of the Hollywood ‘A’ list, an exclusive group of young actors who 
command multi-million dollar salaries and willingly or not, provide 
endless fodder for the paprazzi and glossy magazines. Although she now 
resides in the U.S., Nicole is currently back home in Sydney where she 
recently attended the world premiere of her latest film, The 
Interpreter. And we continue our series ‘HIV Today’. When it first made 
headlines around the world HIV was linked to an inevitable early death. 
But decades on and with improvements in treatment, the disease is no 
longer a death sentence for HIV positive people -- some have lived with 
the virus for more than 20 years. But, as we hear, barriers still 
remain in the community for H-I-V positive people who want to live a 
normal life. Some of these barriers are of their own making.
