Tearfund's HIV publications

Tearfund is committed to sharing learning and good practice. As well as documenting case studies of church-based responses to HIV, and publishing policy and research, Tearfund has developed a range of resources to enable grassroots church groups and partner organisations to provide good-practice comprehensive responses to HIV. These address sensitive issues such as gender and evidence-informed methods of prevention. 

Case studies and reports on Tearfund's HIV work:

• NEW! 'Working on the margins: Unexpected church-based responses to HIV' Case studies from Democratic Republic of Congo, India and Uganda which demonstrate the comparative advantages - and inherent challenges - the church has in working with marginalised groups in response to HIV.
  
  
• 'Transforming lives: Church-based responses to HIV'  Case studies of how Tearfund partners and local churches are responding to the pandemic in Zimbabwe, India and Ethiopia.
  
  
• 'Making a difference: Tearfund's strategic response to the AIDS pandemic' A summary of Tearfund's HIV strategy.
  
  
• 'Focused Church Based Action for PMTCT'
