In 1999, the Broward County Health Department and local community faith-based organizations collaborated to develop Churches United to Stop HIV (CUSH). CUSH has provided HIV prevention services to over 32,000 people, trained over 2,850 faith leaders, conducted over 1,000 risk assessments and provided HIV counseling and testing for over 825 people and technical assistance for 48 churches, including the development of a training manual. We report the development of this innovative program that demonstrates how collaborations between public health and faith-based organizations can connect science with communities.
