Este documento se ha escrito para complementar el documento "Crear alianzas entre las iglesias y las organizaciones de personas que viven con el VIH y el SIDA: Directrices" (2005) del Consejo Mundial de Iglesias. En tanto que el documento sobre la creación de alianzas examina la cuestión de por qué las iglesias deben trabajar con organizaciones de personas que viven con el VIH/SIDA (PVVS), este documento se centra en cómo pueden las iglesias trabajar con las organizaciones y las redes de PVVS. Por ejemplo: ¿Qué temas deben tenerse en cuenta? ¿Cuáles son las necesidades de las personas que viven con el VIH/SIDA? ¿Cómo debería usted relacionarse con las PVVS? Se espera que las sugerencias prácticas de este documento le ayuden a establecer alianzas funcionales y efectivas.
