RELIGIOUS leaders will this weekend dedicate their sermons to the subject of HIV/Aids, Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang announced on Wednesday. She said mosques, temples, churches, synagogues and other places of worship have agreed to take part in a nine-day campaign to boost awareness of the disease. Religious leaders will from Friday to Sunday base their sermons on the subject, focusing on abstinence, faithfulness and caring for those affected by HIV/Aids, Msimang said. The religious community has the ability to spread the message of prevention while encouraging followers to accept and support those already infected, Msimang said. Ministers, members of Parliament, politicians and community leaders are being encouraged to attend these church services.
