“…There is another possibility that more frequent religious practices leaves less time for alcohol consumption. Results in the study are similar to the findings by Kagimu et al (2011) in which he found that Muslim youths who attended religious services were less likely to consume alcohol compared with those who did not participate (Kagimu et al, 2011). In a related sero-behavioral-religiosity survey in Uganda, it was found that Muslims were less likely to drink alcoholic beverages when compared with Christians and those who prayed or attended religious services were less likely to drink alcohol when compared with those who did not (Kagimu et al, 2012).…”

Fish landing sites have high levels of harmful use of alcohol. This paper examines the role of religion and religiosity on alcohol consumption at two fish landing sites on Lake Victoria in Uganda. Questionnaires were administered to randomly selected people at the sites. Dependent variables included alcohol consumption during the previous 30 days, whereas the key independent variables were religion and religiosity. Bivariate and multivariate analysis techniques were applied. People reporting low religiosity were five times more likely to have consumed alcohol (95% confidence interval: 2.45-10.04) compared with those reporting low/average religiosity. Religion and religiosity are potential channels for controlling alcohol use.

“…Eight studies examined condom use in association with service attendance [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56]. Five of those eight studies (62%) documented a positive/protective association and were statistically significant [49,51,52,54,56]. The most frequent mechanism reported among studies that documented a protective association was beliefs and values related to sex or sexuality and social influence.…”

Religion, faith, and spirituality influences on HIV prevention activities: A scoping review

et al. 2020

Introduction Strategies to increase uptake of next-generation biomedical prevention technologies (e.g., long-acting injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)) can benefit from understanding associations between religion, faith, and spirituality (RFS) and current primary HIV prevention activities (e.g., condoms and oral PrEP) along with the mechanisms which underlie these associations. Methods We searched PubMed, Embase, Academic Search Premier, Web of Science, and Sociological Abstracts for empirical articles that investigated and quantified relationships between RFS and primary HIV prevention activities outlined by the United States (U.S.) Department of Health and Human Services: condom use, HIV and STI testing, number of sexual partners, injection drug use treatment, medical male circumcision, and PrEP. We included articles in English language published between 2000 and 2020. We coded and analyzed studies based on a conceptual model. We then developed summary tables to describe the relation between RFS variables and the HIV prevention activities and any underlying mechanisms. We used CiteNetExplorer to analyze citation patterns. Results We identified 2881 unique manuscripts and reviewed 29. The earliest eligible study was published in 2001, 41% were from Africa and 48% were from the U.S. RFS measures included attendance at religious services or interventions in religious settings; religious and/ or spirituality scales, and measures that represent the influence of religion on behaviors. Twelve studies included multiple RFS measures. Twenty-one studies examined RFS in association with condom use, ten with HIV testing, nine with number of sexual partners, and one with PrEP. Fourteen (48%) documented a positive or protective association between all

“…Such religiosity has been reported in previous studies to facilitate HIV preventive behaviors in the general population and good treatment outcomes among PLWH. [30][31][32][33] In the context of HIV care in Tanzania currently, individual religiosity issues are not often looked at. This could easily be addressed during individual counseling sessions to increase its potential benefits to PLWH.…”

The aims of this study were to describe how people living with HIV (PLWH) perceive hope and illustrate implications for HIV care and treatment. This is a qualitative study done to explore perceptions and meanings of hope among PLWH attending care and treatment clinics in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. In all, 10 focus group discussions and 9 in-depth interviews were conducted. People living with HIV described the following 3 dimensions of hope: cognitive, positive emotions, and normalization. Being cognizant of the effectiveness of antiretroviral treatment (ART) often led to positive emotions, such as feeling comforted or strengthened, which in turn was related to positive actions toward normalizing life. Improved treatment outcomes facilitated hope, while persistent health problems, such as ART side effects, were sources of negative emotions contributing to loss of hope among PLWH. Hope motivated positive health-seeking behaviors, including adherence to ART, and this may guide interventions to help PLWH cope and live positively with HIV.
