Ideology and attitudes of Latino church leaders in the United States toward HIV/AIDS are explored. A qualitative approach utilized with emergent categories including: a desire within the Latino church for greater acceptance of HIV/AIDS sufferers, the supposed contaminating influence of HIV/AIDS individuals over other church members, and the feelings of helplessness many church members experience in relation to the HIV/AIDS crisis. Understanding ideological resistance that prevents engagement is here identified and a strategy of empowerment of church leaders is recommended to overcome it including: adopting a strengths-oriented service model that focuses on resources religious denominations already have, as opposed to a financially driven, medically oriented service model that highlights what churches often do not have; church leaders educating health care agencies on how to use religious beliefs to motivate church members to work on behalf of HIV/AIDS patients; the power of doctrinal ideology in affecting church and civil society's response to HIV/AIDS.
探讨了美国拉丁裔教会领袖对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的意识形态和态度。采用定性方法，出现的类别包括：拉丁裔教会内部希望更多地接受艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者、艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者对其他教会成员的所谓污染影响，以及许多教会成员在艾滋病毒/艾滋病危机方面感到无助。这里确定了意识形态上的抵制，这种抵制阻碍了参与，并建议赋予教会领袖权力的策略来克服这种抵制，包括：采用以资源为导向的服务模式，重点关注宗教教派已经拥有的资源，而不是以财务为导向、以医疗为导向的服务模式，这种模式强调教会往往没有的东西；教会领袖教育医疗保健机构如何利用宗教信仰来激励教会成员代表艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者开展工作；教义意识形态在影响教会和民间社会对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的反应方面的力量。
