ESPECIALLY FOR CHURCHES
Your help is needed to eliminate the stigma.
The church has been considered the strongest, most influential institution within the black community. A basic role of the church is to care for those who are sick, those who are lonely, and those who are in need. While much stigma has surrounded the topic of HIV/AIDS in the African-American community, the church can be a resource for its congregation, providing a message of love and education.
