Faith leaders urge equal distribution of resources to combat HIV infection

Posted December 14th, 2016

Since 1988, December 1 has been designated by the World Health Organization (WHO) as World AIDS Day, a time to raise awareness of the pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection. The 2016 theme was “Leadership. Commitment. Impact.” The Presbyterian AIDS Network (PAN), one of the networks of the Presbyterian Health, Education and Welfare Association, was established to not only educate churches but point out the injustices connected with fighting HIV/AIDS.
