“…Moreover, research suggests Black men who have sex with men use church as a means to cope and reconcile sexuality through worship and prayer for the forgiveness of sins [ 42 , 43 ]. Tailoring interventions, with the help of church leadership and members of the congregations, could be one way to help alleviate stigma and help to decrease social isolation among Black gay and bisexual men [ 44 ]. Facilitating readiness to acknowledge the benefits of coping strategies in spiritual counseling and ministerial work also should be considered in clergy development and theological training.…”

Reducing human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) racial/ethnic disparities in the Deep South has been a critical objective of the U.S. National HIV/AIDS Strategy. This finding, originally published in 2010 by the Office of National AIDS Policy, serves as a complement to the Health and Human Resources and Services Administration’s Ending the HIV Epidemic (EtHE): A Plan for America. The EtHE plan, released in 2019, emphasizes community stakeholder involvement to achieve the planning goals of decreasing new HIV infections in key U.S. geographic areas. According to the plan, an important stakeholder is faith leaders, especially around stigma reduction. This paper focuses on a community–academic research partnership’s exploration of southern Black faith leaders’ teaching perspectives regarding HIV prevention, sexuality, and sexual health in predominantly Black congregations in Memphis, Tennessee. The partnership conducted four focus groups using a semi-structured discussion interview. Any adult faith leader involved in ministry work in a predominantly Black church was eligible to participate in the discussion. A total of 26 faith leaders with a mean age of 54, representing four Christian denominations, consented to participate in the study. Emerging themes included: (1) restriction of scripture to teach prevention and address sexuality, (2) role of secrecy and silence in living with HIV, and (3) impact of the stigma of HIV and sexuality. Findings may inform nationwide jurisdictional implementation plans, particularly for faith-based interventions in southern churches working toward ending the HIV epidemic.

“…Such information is needed to identify and monitor changes in HIV-related stigma over time [5]. Furthermore, there is also a dearth of evidenced-based and informed stigma reduction interventions in this region of the US [19][20][21].…”

Introduction HIV-related stigma continues to serve as a major barrier to HIV care. HIV stigma reduction interventions are urgently needed to promote and protect the health of persons living with HIV (PLWH). Resilience has been identified as a potential leverage to mitigate the impact of HIV-related stigma among PLWH. Methods We examined whether two resilience measures (i.e., social support and resilience assets and resources [RAR]) moderated the relationship between experienced HIV stigma and the HIV care continuum as well as how they moderated the relationship between the consequences of experienced HIV stigma (CES) and the HIV care continuum among 300 PLWH in Louisiana. Separate bootstrapping analyses were conducted to test for evidence of moderated moderation. Results Most participants were Black (79%) and had been living with HIV for 10 years or more. A relatively high sample of men who have sex with men (MSM) were enrolled (37%). The most common CES were depression (67%). The most common manifestation of experienced HIV stigma was being gossiped about (53%). Participants reported moderate levels of social support. In terms of RAR, most participants (71%) reported that they knew of groups that could support them in responding to experienced HIV stigma. After adjusting for potential covariates, social support and RAR both significantly moderated the * Russell Brewer

“…Providing education about HIV using visual narrative methods such as pictures and videos containing audio and text can have a positive impact on a community [17]. However, attention needs to be paid to the community's stigma about HIV, where interventions to reduce stigma are also important as additional tools for success in prevention [18]. In its research Flicker et al in 2019, 18 HIV activists made videos and then played in each community and conducted interviews afterward and gave positive results about participation in health campaigns especially about HIV.…”

— HIV education and tests are the main entrance for prevention, care and treatment support. Video as an educational tool, convey clear, consistent, and unbiased information while easy to use, effective as face-to-face interactions, yet, online-video has never been used in previous studies regardless of its easy-dissemination. Therefore, health cadres hold important tasks in educating people about the importance of HIV. To determine onlinevideo effectiveness on knowledge increment and cadres’ attitude toward HIV testing importance in Public Health Centers. This study used a cross-sectional method with one group pretest and posttest models. The research sample was 50 HIV cadres using a total sampling technique. Data were analyzed using McNemar test to determine the comparison between pretest and posttest of knowledge and attitude variables. Research findings that before and after the intervention was carried out, there were differences in the results on the knowledge and attitude variables. Based on the McNemar test for the variables of knowledge and attitudes obtained significant results (p = 0.00). This research concludes that o nline-video is effective in increasing knowledge and attitudes of HIV cadres toward the importance of HIV testing in Public Health Centers. In addition, it is necessary to have a combination of other interventions (FGD, flip sheets, counseling, leaflets) using a cohort or RCT method with a larger sample
