Religious Responses to HIV/AIDS

February 1, 2021

This curricular module guide explores the role of religion in response to HIV/AIDS, focusing on the diverse roles of religious leaders and communities and the efforts of faith organizations in HIV/AIDS response. The guide expands on the "Religious Responses to HIV/AIDS" virtual course module by assembling open-access sources and providing discussion questions on how religion contributes—both positively and negatively—to the HIV/AIDS crisis. 

These materials are designed to engage students with the following issues:

  • ​the diverse roles of religious leaders, organizations, and communities in the response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic at the local, national, and international levels
  • actions taken by faith organizations in response to HIV/AIDS and their roles in providing aid to local and marginalized communities

This guide is part of the Berkley Center's Religion and World Affairs Virtual Course Modules, a collection of curricular modules that draws on open-access articles and multimedia sources to support online learning in higher education.
