2023: Revealing his HIV[]
Brett shows up in Walford looking for Zack Hudson. Zack confronts Brett and it's revealed Zack and Brett used to take steroids together and even shared the same needles. Brett then reveals to Zack that he has HIV and that Zack should get tested straight away. Zack struggles to process potentially having HIV and keeps it a secret from Sharon Watts and Whitney Dean. Zack storms out of Walford East and once again quits after having an argument with Nish, Suki and Ravi after accidentally breaking a glass. Zack then goes to the hospital and finally gets a test, and it is revealed that he does have HIV. Zack takes this news very badly - he misses his baby mother Whitney's baby scan and later takes a photo of the baby. Zack meets Brett in the park and grabs him in rage, but Brett calms Zack down and Zack breaks down in tears. Brett assures Zack that having HIV isn't a death sentence, but Brett urges Zack to tell Whitney and any other women Zack had slept with about his HIV.
