Why More Than 100 Pastors Will Preach HIV Awareness This Weekend

This weekend, black Christian leaders around the country will be using their Sunday sermons to address a topic many consider to be a “stigma” in African-American communities: HIV and AIDS.

Ahead of its annual convention, the NAACP has enlisted more than 100 pastors to preach about HIV’s disparate impact on black Americans for a “Day of Unity” ― hoping to raise awareness among some of those most affected by the disease.
