The U.S. HIV/AIDS Faith Coalition is pleased to partner with the Lutheran Office of World Community, The HIV Vaccine Trials Network Faith Initiative, UBtheCURE, and United Methodist Women to host a high-level forum on faith and public health at the Church Center for the United Nations, titled "Hope, Healing, and Human Dignity: A Faith Response to HIV" on Monday, December 1st, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. EST.
This event will bring together faith leaders, biomedical experts, policy makers, and community advocates for a public forum that integrates worshipful reflection with a high‑level panel discussion on the pathway to end HIV as a public health crisis—centered on dignity, equity, spirituality, and scientific progress.
