St. James African Methodist Episcopal Church in Denton,
Texas, will present the “Building Healthy Relationships: HIV/AIDS Workshop” and
offer free HIV testing from noon to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 21, at the
church.
The workshop also will provide health literature and
speakers to educate attendees about HIV. One of the speakers will be Judith
Dillard, a health educator with New Bethel CIC Church of Fort Worth.
According to Mary Taylor, pastoral assistant, Dillard’s
story will remind individuals that anyone can be infected, and the disease can
be treated. Dillard was infected by her unfaithful husband, who did not inform
her of his diagnosis. Dillard has been living with HIV infection for more than
20 years.
