Description: This report presents a comprehensive look at issues impacting people living with HIV and AIDS, both in the U. S. and globally, and recommends to the PC(USA) a response of compassionate action and prophetic witness. For the church to respond more creatively and comprehensively to the HIV and AIDS global pandemic is to become an 'HIV and AIDS competent' denomination.
