NAACP's HIV-AIDS Manual for Black Churches [Download Manuals]
We are glad to hear people are still pushing the fact that HIV/AIDS is an epidemic and it can't be pushed under the rug.

When dealing with the church on these issues, it can be challenging because people are starting to get to the point they don't want to hear about it, especially not in church. If many churches can embrace the subculture of hip hop, prosperity gospel, homosexuality and almost everything worldly, (sarcastically stated) then we should have no problem speaking on a disease that kills our people. First, we have to give up sin, then surely we can speak on solutions about preventing HIV/AIDS!
