Este artigo apresenta a ideia geral sobre HIV & AIDS, explora como o estigma e discriminacao degradam as condicoes de vida do PLWHA. O artigo apresenta tambem as implicacoes e desafios desta situacao para as Igrejas Africanas. HIV & AIDS sao frequentemente considerados como a punicao de Deus de transgressoes sexuais, ou ate mesmo a forma que Deus usa para eliminar os elementos pecaminosos da sociedade. A sociedade considera os portadores de HIV & AIDS como pecadores por causa da doenca, ou a doenca os faz pecadores. Como fica, entao, a situacao de criancas e pessoas que nao estao envolvidas em atividades imorais. As atitudes das pessoas que se consideram justas levam-nas a pensar e crer que os portadores de HIV & AIDS nao sao justos. Devido a este tipo de julgamento da parte da igreja e da sociedade os portadores de HIV & AIDS sao estigmatizados e discriminados pela igreja e pela sociedade. This paper deals with the general idea about HIV & AIDS and further explores how stigma and discrimination worsen the life PLWHA and finally implications and challenges for African Churches. HIV & AIDS is often considered to be God’s punishment for sexual transgressions, or even God’s way of eradicating sinful elements from society. The society considers HIV & AIDS patients as sinners, because of their disease, or their disease made them sinners. This brings us to question about Children and those not involved in immoral activities. The self righteous attitudes of people have led them to think and believe that HIV & AIDS patients are unrighteous. Due to this judgmental attitude of the church and society, HIV & AIDS affected and infected patients are stigmatized and discriminated by the church and society.
