Vera Baird, Redcar's MP, is collecting signatures asking the European Commission to find another ú3bn a year to help tackle the disease.
She says about 23m people live with HIV and Aids in Africa, and money is needed to provide drugs and healthcare.
Churches across Redcar have agreed to support the petition and have copies of the petition available to sign.
Mrs Baird says the campaign seeks to find the money through a reform of Europe's Common Agricultural Policy and cutting the taxpayers' subsidies given to the richest farmers.
The churches of St Peter's in Redcar, New Marske, Wilton, Coatham and Dormanstown are all supporting the project.
