Prince Harry has highlighted the growing problem of HIV in Singapore by meeting a man moments after he was tested for the disease.
Harry's first engagement in the city state saw him visit a mobile testing centre at the imposing residence of Britain's High Commissioner Scott Wightman.
When he arrived a Union flag flying from a pole at the front of the property was at half mast in respect to the victims of the terrorist attack in London.
Harry, who flew to the Commonwealth nation on Saturday on a commercial service, chatted to Azib Mohdar, who was tested by a local NGO Action for Aids, which educates communities and provides services.
After the simple finger-prick test the 21-year-old, who is a volunteer with Action for Aids, was told his result was negative.
Harry quizzed Mr Mohdar and Murni Sabadi, a senior co-ordinator for mobile service, about the issues around HIV in Singapore.
HIV is raising among Singapore's gay community and there is also an associated stigma about getting tested.
Harry told them: "You're not behind or in front of the rest of the world, everywhere you go places are struggling."
The prince has been campaigning in the UK to encourage people of all backgrounds to be tested for the disease and publicly took a HIV test with pop superstar Rihanna on World Aids Day last December.
He ended on a positive note saying: "What you guys are doing is really, really important. It's far better to know your status then not."
Later Harry will join a Muslim community when they break their Ramadan fast at sunset and will eat with the group.
