Researchers found that congregations taught on the subject frequently, coordinated home visitation, youth programming, voluntary testing, and care for those affected by illness and death (Trinitapoli, 2006(Trinitapoli, , 2015. Social network research also demonstrated that informal conversations about HIV were common and served to translate formal religious teaching into practical application (Agadjanian and Menjívar, 2008).…”
