The Allen Temple AIDS Ministry invites everyone to join them in participating in The National Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS is an annual HIV awareness campaign that mobilizes faith communities; and highlights the contributions and impact congregations are making in areas of HIV prevention, testing, direct service, advocacy and community engagement.

Now in its 25th year, The National Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS (formerly known as The Black Church Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS and The Harlem Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS) is the forerunner of all national HIV awareness campaigns in the US.

This national faith mobilization campaign continues to call men and women of faith to prayer and to take aggressive action in dismantling AIDS stigma; to model unconditional love and compassion to all persons living with and affected by HIV; to disseminate factual HIV education and to engage communities in HIV testing and treatment services.

The National Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS is a call to prayer for the eradication of HIV/AIDS through prayer, education, advocacy and service. It is the coming together of all people of faith to unite with purpose, compassion and hope to do the following:

• Educate every American about AIDS facts;
• Encourage and support HIV Testing;
• Advocate for the availability of compassionate care and treatment for all those living with the disease in every community in America and;
• Love, unconditionally, every person living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.
