Churches, mosques, and condoms : understanding successful HIV and AIDS interventions by faith-based organisations
journal contribution
posted on 2011-02-18, 00:00 authored by Matthew ClarkeMatthew Clarke, S Charnley, J LumbersThere are an estimated 33 million people living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) worldwide. While national education campaigns have been successful in providing a broad platform of awareness of HIV and AIDS, within some countries faith-based organisations (FBOs) have assumed an important role in educating and supporting local communities to reduce HIV transmission. This article conceptualises the successful characteristics of a Christian organisation in West Papua and a Muslim organisation in Thailand. The ability of both these FBOs to engage successfully with their communities on issues of sexual practice provides important lessons for other FBOs seeking to reduce HIV transmission.
