HIV and AIDS Communication and Stigma

Tanzania

40 religious leaders attended the training and took steps to address stigma in their congregations: services in the congregations have improved and activities involve more and more HIV+ people; willingness of people living with HIV/AIDS to testimony their status; youth, couples and the general community have shown interest to voluntarily test their status; the number of premarital testing has increased; most of congregation members have decided to own the problem and start educating themselves & others.

TADEPA cooperates with the church institutions in several ways: they are consulted to facilitate training organised by the Lutheran Church, Anglican Churchand Roman Catholic Church; they are also invited in their planning sessions.
