Although I'm a skeptic semi-believer, we cannot deny the comfort that spirituality -- whatever its form -- provides people facing a chronic or life-threatening condition. I'm grateful for the people profiled in this story, because they have demonstrated service and compassion toward people living with HIV. It's a trait we have demanded from religious leaders since the AIDS crisis began, so I'm certainly not going to knock them for doing it now.
Blegh. Where do us who don't believe in this crap go?
We need a CURE, not an invisible delusion to "comfort" us until we die. Get your head out of the clouds and demand a CURE!

You did an excellent job lifting up the positive stories of how faith activists support people living with HIV. However, POZ dodged telling the whole truth. One only has to pop one’s head into an interfaith aids conference to understand the big business of faith groups taking taxpayer aid while the prejudice of religious conservatives who manufacture stigma against men who have sex with men and sex workers and who make it difficult to access condoms remains unchallenged at these same meetings.
