African Americans are more likely to become infected with HIV, less likely to know they have the disease, and more likely to die from HIV/AIDS than any other race. Given the Black Church's historic involvement in advocacy, the NAACP created the campaign, "The Black Church & HIV: The Social Justice Imperative," to compel faith leaders to action against HIV/AIDS. The NAACP Health Department developed a pastoral brief and activity manual to encourage black faith leaders to engage in HIV advocacy.
