HIV / AIDS and the Church: Kenyan religious leaders become partners in prevention.


 Throughout the early 1990s, most religious groups in Kenya either ignored AIDS or explained it as the result of aberrant or immoral behavior. Religious leaders were divided over the epidemic and how to deal with it. MAP International, a nonprofit Christian relief and development organization, developed and launched the MAP Kenya HIV/AIDS Project to teach pastors the facts about HIV/AIDS and encourage them to discuss the subject with their parishioners. Awareness packets were sent to pastors with sermon outlines on HIV/AIDS, explaining that AIDS affects the entire community, that people should be compassionate to those with AIDS, and that care should be offered to the sick. Parishioners should protect themselves from HIV by avoiding extramarital and premarital sex. A powerful grassroots campaign based in the churches and communities has now been created.
