第一代华人移民参加的民族教会在解决华人社区新出现的艾滋病预防和护理需求方面具有独特的地位。要发展以信仰为基础的艾滋病项目，就必须确定艾滋病与中国教会内基督教中国化之间的交集。这篇文章将回顾在神学和文化框架下对HIV的语境化过程，这对华人教会领袖和成员是有意义的。作者特别提出了公共卫生和教会功能之间的两点整合：(1)以基督为中心的同情和正义教义为基础的艾滋病毒污名缓解倡议；(2)以基督教传福音的传统为基础，将艾滋病毒预防和护理重新定义为社会责任。会议将讨论阻碍和促进中国教会参与艾滋病预防、护理和减少污名的制度和做法。
Ethnic churches attended by first generation Chinese immigrants are uniquely positioned to address emerging HIV prevention and care needs within the Chinese community at-large. Efforts to develop faith-based HIV programs necessitate identifying how HIV intersects with the sinicization of Christianity within Chinese churches. This article will review the process of contextualizing HIV within theological and cultural frameworks that are meaningful for ethnic Chinese church leaders and members. The authors specifically propose two points of integration between public health and ecclesial functions: (1) HIV stigma-mitigation initiatives as informed by Christo-centric teachings of compassion and justice, and (2) HIV prevention and care reframed as social responsibility and informed by the Christian tradition of evangelism. Systems and practices that hinder and promote the involvement of Chinese churches in HIV prevention, care, and stigma-reduction will be discussed.
