Abstract
"Christians must investi gate their attitu des towards women in positions of leadership. A re they cont rolled by cultural settings or by bib lical teachings? T hese attitudes inf luence the valuing of women and treatment of them . Religious leaders, venues and gatherings are suitable for communicating HIV messages because of the esteem and unswerving loyalty co ngregan ts accord religious leaders, the numbers t hat attend religious gatherings, and the frequency of the gatherings. Needless to say, religious leaders are best placed to address issues of discordance and related STIs and HIV vulnerabilities alongside th e emphasis they place on fidelity and submission. Christianity may offer uniquely effective structure s and mechanisms for mitigating the social impact of the epidemic on society, and especially on its most vulnerable segment - poor women."
