The International Religious Alliance on HIV/AIDS for Africa, was formed on Friday, at the end of a three-day workshop in Senegal. It will be based in Dakar under the auspices of two non-governmental organisations (NGOs) involved in AIDS-control work: Jamra, which is a Muslim NGO, and the Catholic SIDA Service, PANA reported.
Jamra's Latif Gueye, the Alliance's Secretary General, said the new body will work closely with scientists in prevention efforts at the grassroot level, and fight the stigmatisation of people living with HIV/AIDS through associations of religious leaders to be created in every country.
