Faith-based organizations (FBOs) have historically played an important role in delivering health and social services in developing countries; however, little research has been done on their role in HIV prevention and care, particularly in Latin America. This title describes FBO involvement in HIV/AIDS in three Central American countries hard hit by this epidemic: Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras. The authors discuss the range of FBO activities and assess the implications of FBO involvement in addressing HIV/AIDS, such as churches' diverse presence and extensive reach, the unwillingness of some FBOs to discuss condom use, and their lack of experience in evaluating the impact of programs. A Spanish translation of this report is also available.
Historicamente, las organizaciones basadas en la fe (OBF) han desempenado una funcion importante en la prestacion de servicios sociales y de salud en paises en desarrollo; sin embargo, poco se ha investigado sobre su papel en la prevencion y la atencion del VIH, particularmente en America Latina. Este trabajo describe la participacion de las OBF en el abordaje de la epidemia del VIH/sida en Belice, Guatemala y Honduras. Los autores describen la variedad de actividades que desarrollan las OBF, y analizan las ventajas y los desafios de dicha participacion, asi como las posibles acciones que las OBF pueden adoptar para mejorar su labor, tanto en forma independiente como en colaboracion con otras organizaciones, tales como los ministerios de salud.
