This manual contains basic information about HIV/AIDS and different ways in which the faith community can respond including teaching, counseling, IEC, and advocacy. The curriculum was developed to provide an overview of the HIV pandemic to Christian clergy, religious leaders, laity and church groups, and to sensitize participants of 1994 International Conference on Population and development in Cairo about the current issues and challenges that PLWHA face. The curriculum was designed to assist a trainer in delivering a five-day workshop. It is divided into seven chapters. Each chapter introduction provides background information for the trainer about the topics covered. Activities has been designed to involve participants to the fullest extent possible.
