 BioMed Central | Abstract | Response of religious groups to HIV/AIDS as a sexually transmitted infection in Trinidad
Religious leaders are esteemed in TandT's society and may use their position and frequent interactions with the public to promote HIV/AIDS awareness, fight stigma and discrimination, and exercise compassion for people living with HIV/AIDS (PWHA).
Religious groups in Trinidad are being challenged to promote a clear and consistent response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic; a response that may reflect personal experiences and respect religious doctrine in the context of sex and sexuality.
The study suggests that (1) religious leaders could improve their role in the fight against HIV/AIDS with education and sensitization-specifically aimed at dismantling the myths about HIV transmission, and the stereotyping of susceptible sub-populations, and (2) a consultative dialogue between PWHAs and religious leaders is pivotal to a successful faith-based HIV intervention in Trinidad.

The law requires religious groups wishing to operate and be recognized as legal entities, as well as those wanting to engage in public activities outside of their places of worship, to formally register with the Sofia City Court; however, official registrations of religious denominations has continued to increase, from 36 in 2003 to 45.

 Religious leaders threaten Bush over gay marriage ban - GOP senators drop amendment from priority list
In a Jan. 18 letter to White House political adviser Karl Rove, which was disclosed by the New York Times, the coalition of conservative religious leaders known as the Arlington Group expressed outrage that Bush appeared to be taking a “defeatist” attitude toward the proposed constitutional ban on gay marriage.
The letter from the Arlington Group also came one week after Bush angered social conservative leaders by hinting in an interview with the Washington Post that he might not push hard for a constitutional ban on gay marriage since the Senate was unlikely to pass it any time soon.
Senate GOP leaders didn’t include the marriage ban on a list of their top 10 legislative priorities for the next two years.

The ban on using private homes for religious meetings is a major barrier to the functioning of these religious communities.
Like many concerned with religious freedom in Turkmenistan, we welcomed the government of Turkmenistan’s release from prison of ten conscientious objectors (six in June 2004, and four more in April 2005) and hailed its decision in March 2004 to lower the number of signatures required for the registration process.
