This webpage discusses how the faith community continues to play an essential role in shaping the public’s knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors. Faith-based organizations (FBOs) have been key components in a comprehensive HIV prevention strategy for building awareness, mobilizing communities, and reducing HIV-related stigma. The role FBOs play in local communities puts them in a unique position to influence their congregation to get tested, seek care, and remain virally suppressed.
