A Biblical Worldview Needed for the Prevention of HIV/AIDS
Subject
HIV/AIDS Prevention
Description
In this landmark paper, professor Dick Day argues that if the HIV/AIDS pandemic is to be curbed in Africa, there must be a paradigm shift as a prerequiste to behavior change. The most important behavioral change facing Africa is in the area of sexual behavior. There is a need for a shift to a Biblical worldview that sees God as the Creator and Designer of human sexuality.
