Roland Chesters
If, out of the blue, you were given just two weeks to live, how would you feel? What would you do? How would you prepare for the end? Who would you tell - and how?
This was the terrible position Roland Chesters found himself in in the late summer of 2006. He knew he was seriously ill - but had no idea he had both HIV and AIDS.
Luckily, Roland did not die. Expert medical help and his own determination not to give in saw him through. His life, though, had changed forever...
This audiobook brings together not only Roland's story of his diagnosis, the impact it had on him and those around him, but also the stories of 13 other people diagnosed with HIV (and in some cases AIDS) in the UK between 1981 and 2015.
These are tales of survival, of courage, of hope, of love, of resilience.
HIV no longer hits the headline news but it has not gone away.

"None of us know how many heartbeats we have left; facing mortality is a culturally difficult thing. This book gives us clear clarion voice after voice showing us gently but insistently the many ways of successfully navigating horrific times and surviving". (GScene)
