A team of AIDS victims from the US will be touring the north-west of UK next month to testify how God is helping them move forward.
Sharon Hylton's husband, Mike, died in 1998 from Aids. She is now a partner in the company he started, Factor Support Network Pharmacy, which is a special service for people with haemophilia, HIV and Aids, and bleeding disorders.
Hylton will be speaking during the tour, led by journalist Dan Wooding.
"We hope the tour will show how HIV is a disease of people, not just statistics," said Wooding, who will lead the team from He Intends Victory, a pioneering HIV and Aids charity based in Irvine, California. "We want to put a human face on this disease and help others reach out to those infected in their communities."
In addition, Dan Davis, who was diagnosed with Aids in 1994, will share his testimony together with his wife Cathy on how "God has touched their lives and given them the strength to remain together through difficult circumstances". Dan engaged in homosexual relationships for 27 years before entering into a "process of recovery".
Davis and Hylton will be speaking at Prescot Community Church, Prescot, Merseyside on 10 June at 10am.
