Faith forward to end the HIV epidemic by 2030
Faith and Identity: Navigating Transgender Experiences in the South, is a panel session of the 2024 Interfaith of Pre-Conference of the United States Conference on HIV/AIDS (USCHA) under the theme, Moving Faith Forward in the South to End the Epidemic. The session features an engaging and inspiring discussion exploring the intersections of two profound aspects of life, faith and identity experienced by people of trans and nonbinary experience. In the South, where religious and cultural experiences run deep, navigating these experiences as trans nonbinary people can be very complex. In these complexities, we find our strength, resilience, and community.
The panel includes:
The 2024 USCHA Interfaith Pre-Conference was presented by the U.S. HIV & AIDS Faith Coalition, comprised of people of faith, faith leaders, and people working in the HIV and AIDS response. The day-long, hybrid conference engages participants to discuss and develop strategies to access and strengthen the capacity of houses of worship and faith-based organizations in efforts to end the HIV epidemic. The focus of this conference was on the experiences of people in the Southern region of the U.S. and the role of faith in combating HIV-related stigma and discrimination in the South.
