That is not a proof that they cannot have the virus in the future. Blessing their marriages does not also guarantee that there will be no exposure to the virus after the blessing. These money conscious pastors, too!! They have been made to be all-knowing craps only for them to screw up people's lives. I suggest these pastors have HIV test every month and show their current HIV status to their congregations as a way to encourage all to do the same. They preach but do not practise what they preach!!!!!

Pastors have no right to make their own laws. It is only the government who can impose such an act. If couples decide to test that is their choice. Pastors have become too powrtful in Ghana.

I support you 100%. What you are saying is the larger truth. The pastors want to know the HIV negative women to target. Fake pastors. Where in the Bible does it encourage such a practice?

The program sodenud great, but when I read the article it said only 58 people applied for the opportunity and they had to turn some down because of limited capacity. The university's website says 28,000 students are enrolled there. Just 58 signed up for Alternative Spring Break? Also, it is rather lame to learn the program could not accommodate all of them. The 58 who did volunteer are to be commended for their service.

Fisrt there is no such thing as an HIV virus. Please review the Documentary by Gary Null from 2001 ( the 20year retrospective review on AIDS). This has been a huge attempt to DE-POPULATE AFRICA!!!!!!

kudos to all those pastors for they have shown a great sense of leadership. They are lo lead them in the right way, though some may be money minded, but i applaud this decision. HIV Commission should bow their heads in shame for coming to warn these pastors. HIV testing must be mandatory at all corners and positive patients must be traced to avoid further soread. SHAME AND AGAIN SHAME TO THE HIV BODY.

Instead of the Director of policy and planning, who should be concern about the spread of the HIV and the reduction of infection he is rather telling the pastors to stop the mandatory HIV testing the Director should advocate for. In US all pregnant women undergoes mandatory HIV test. May be the Director thinks without the spread of HIV he will not have any job. What a foolish Director

Shame on you. Have you ever heard any pastor in USA telling people to do HIV test before he blesses their marriage? The mandetary HIV test for pregant woman in USA is mend to reduce Mother to child transmition. Moreover it is a national policy not a church policy. Stop quoting USA blindly.
