HIV/AIDS      

STOP AIDS: KEEP THE PROMISE

On December 1, 2006, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) commemorates the lives of people living with HIV around the world, the suffering of those who have died from AIDS and the work of countless organizations dedicated to battling the pandemic. CRS is at the forefront of the global humanitarian response to HIV and AIDS, working closely with partners in Africa, Asia and Latin America and the United States to expand the provision of care to people living with the virus.

Together, HIV and AIDS pose one of the largest, most complex threats to human health the world has ever known. Great stigma compounds already tragic physical consequence. And in the developing world, the pandemic is devastating the physical, social and economic health of entire communities and regions. Not only do people suffer and die from this disease, it robs them of their dignity, their families, their social networks and their livelihoods.

National Catholic AIDS Network

The Network assists the Church in recognizing the pain and the unique challenges inherent in the HIV/AIDS pandemic and in living out the Gospel mandate by offering support, education, referral and technical assistance.
