Document Summary

Hiv/aids stigma and religiosity among african american women. Ethnic minorities in the united states are disproportionately affected by hiv and has become increasingly apparent among women of color. Religion plays an important aspect of african american s culture especially among women. Religious organizations tend to stigmatize groups with hiv due to believe that the disease is a punishment from god which is caused by immoral behaviours. And also, leaders of faith based organizations justify stigmatization of hiv with biblical verses that states that the wages of sin is death. This stigmatization has led to the non disclosure and high prevalence of hiv among african american women than. The central topic of presentation is how religion is a helpful agent in the fight against hiv. However, it is important to note that the relevance of my resource to my group s presentation is that religion does not actually help people living with. Hiv but rather stigmatize those living with the disease.
