Alafia (Peace) I am Khafre K. Abif, AIDS Activist and I have been thriving with HIV for 24 years. I have a forthcoming anthology, Cornbread, Fish and Collard Greens: Prayers, Poems & Affirmations for People Living with HIV/AIDS due for release in early September 2013. God is not through with me yet. To that end I am now working on a second anthology. Call For Submissions: A Pastors Prayer for People Living with HIV/AIDS. A Pastors Prayer for People Living with HIV/AIDS a collection of prayers, for the people living with HIV/AIDS. This project seeks inspirational prayers that opens the heart, supports the soul and uplifts the spirit of people living with HIV/AIDS. I believe that there is healing in prayer. I know that words have power. I needed to provide this collection of words that will combat the words that are so often hear spoken to someone with HIV. This is my effort to help combat HIV-related stigma. AIDS-related stigma and discrimination refers to prejudice, negative attitudes, abuse and maltreatment directed at people living with HIV and AIDS. The consequences of stigma and discrimination are wide-ranging: being shunned by family, peers and the wider community, poor treatment in healthcare and education settings, an erosion of rights, psychological damage, and a negative effect on the success of HIV testing and treatment. The idea for the anthology grew out of my work as an HIV Test Counselor. Each time I had to share with someone that they tested positive for HIV one of the first issues for them was disclosure. As you are reading this it is quite possible that you know someone living with HIV/AIDS. If you do then they have shared their status with you. Let us consider all of those who still haven’t disclosed to their mother, father, sister/brother or even their faith community. What place to they go to as a source of support and inspiration?
