Religious Organizations and Hiv: Religion is a powerful force worldwide. Estimates suggest that over 80 percent of the world's population identifies with some established religion. Religious organizations exist in virtually all societies and play varying roles in setting moral and behavioral standards. Religious beliefs, religious practices, and religious organizations have clear relevance to sexual behaviors related to HIV risk as well as to the ways in which HIV-positive individuals are viewed and cared for. This PA calls for studies to examine the extent and nature of religious organizations' involvement in HIV-related activities, the factors that influence such involvement and its effectiveness. The focus is on religious organizations or congregations such as churches, synagogues or mosques. Faith-based organizations -- i.e., those supported by or tied to religious organizations, but not directly providing religious services -- may be involved in the research, but are not the focus of the research.
