Events: How to live with HIV?               

Faith Action for Integrated Public Health Ambassadorship program launch. FAIPHA is designed by public health specialists to strengthen faith leaders’ capacity to support disease prevention, promote accurate health information, and engage effectively with public health systems while remaining grounded in their spiritual mandate and leadership values. As communities increasingly look to the church for guidance during everyday health challenges and public health emergencies, FAIPHA provides practical, values-aligned tools to enhance the church’s role in safeguarding community-wide health and wellbeing and to strengthen faith leaders’ ability to support prevention and promote accurate health information. The event is led by HIV Survivors and Partners Network (a non-profit operating in Gauteng) in collaboration with Quality Care 4 U (MERLA Academy)

HIV knows no boundaries: This sermon is targeting newly weds, couples and people that are in a process of getting married, as well as singles. The goal is to raise awareness about HIV, and emphasise the fact that marriage and stable relationships are not a shield. The objective is to capacitate attendees about ways to deal with their status, ways to prevent HIV and disclosure support. It is also empirical that every person get into marriage knowing their potential partners HIV status.
