Miami, FL – The National Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS (NWPHA) is an annual HIV awareness campaign that mobilizes faith communities and highlights the contributions and impact congregations are making in areas of HIV prevention, testing, direct service, advocacy, and community engagement.  The NWPHA is an initiative of the Balm in Gilead.

Beginning Sunday, March 6th - Saturday, March 12, 2022; worship centers such as churches, synagogues, mosques; as well as other faith-based organizations are requested to pause for a moment of prayer for the healing of HIV/AIDS during their worship service where they will provide AIDS information to their communities. This national campaign continues to call men and women of faith to prayer and to take aggressive action in dismantling AIDS stigma; to model unconditional love and compassion to all persons living with and affected by HIV; to disseminate factual HIV education and to engage communities in HIV testing and treatment services.
