AIDS, Psychology, and Religion:
The State of the Art in Psychological Literature
Keywords:
AIDS, Coping, Psychoneuroimmunology, Religion, StressAbstract
Some relationships between health and religion were studied through a critical examination of recent psychological
literature. Health, and its correlate disease, was considered as dependent on the immune system; religion was meant as
a way of coping. Theoretical and empirical literature, especially Jenkins' research (1995) on the relation between religion and
AIDS, were discussed. Some hints were drawn from the available literature, concerning personal and institutional religious
coping for AIDS' patients.
