For Immediate Release: October 12, 2021 from Wake Forest School of Divinity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Faith leaders in the Southern United States aren\u2019t strangers to the disproportionate impact HIV has on Black communities. They\u2019ve seen the shame and stigma that people living with HIV in their communities can face, and they recognize how these things can drive secrecy, isolation and lack of treatment. And now, they\u2019re using the pulpit in a call for change.<\/p>\n

Gilead has partnered with\u00a0Caribbean-American\u00a0filmmaker Sad\u00e9 Clacken Joseph to create a short film featuring the powerful words of Rev. Deneen Robinson, Rev. Naomi Washington-Leapheart and Sr. Pastor Earle J. Fisher. The three spiritual leaders explore how faith-based communities can support people living with and impacted by HIV through caring, acceptance and inclusion.<\/p>\n

Working with faith-based communities to help change the conversation about HIV is central to the Gilead COMPASS Initiative\u00ae<\/sup>, a program intended to help eradicate the serious and systemic challenges that contribute to the HIV epidemic in the U.S. South. Earlier this year, Gilead\u00a0introduced<\/a>\u00a0Wake Forest University School of Divinity as its newest partner in the program.<\/p>\n
